Saint Nico Matelot - 5 min Port, Station & Center

😢: Impossible to find it. There is no name tag on the street. The guests are not supposed to take away garbage and take off the bed sheets.

😊: Location; handy for station and harbour and getting round town. Plenty of hot water. It had all the equipment it said it did.. 😢: Tiny, grubby, lack of clothing storage, virtually no hanging space. The three wire hangers were on a rail in an open space beside the bed, shared by the cleaning materials (mop, bucket, floor brush), iron, ironing board and a large drying rack. There was nowhere else to put these, so we had to look at them in the corner of the lounge area for our whole stay so they were not by our head as we slept. No drawers, shelves or flat surfaces (unless you count the floor) to keep things you use every day. No bedside cabinets. We travel light but found it hard to unpack here. Bed seemed comfy but we kept rolling into the middle. There was an obvious general lack of care regarding bedding, towels and the maintenance of the space; every wall and door was marked and unkempt. Washing machine but no space to dry laundry. Kitchen sink didn't drain and required plunging each time it was used. Drench shower sent a big jet of water up to the roof, so only lower shower worked in the tiny bathroom. Kitchen but no real space to prepare, store or cook food; no oven. There is a breakfast bar but that, apart from two little nesting tables, is the only flat surface in the kitchen/dining/lounge area. Standard fridge (ice box door didn't close properly). The "sofa" in the lounge is actually a small single bed with a duvet and cushions, so not great for sitting. The entrance is dirty, with three boilers in a narrow space, an electric scooter was often stored there and the smoke detector/fire alarm outside the flat door was broken or disconnected. In a building with an enclosed wooden stair, this was of concern. We had intended staying six nights but left after four, having contacted the host with our concerns and getting no response..
