Résidence Celestins

There’s barely any light or ventilation in this small apartment, and it feels cramped. The water heater above the bathroom mirror blocks the light, while the headboard makes getting into the bedroom difficult. The kitchen has appliances but no cookware, and we also missed having a toaster. Even for two, the place felt too small. I wouldn’t recommend it.

The studio was clean and nicely arranged, with a big, comfortable bed. The kitchen was small but useful: microwave, pod coffee maker, kettle, fridge, and two induction hobs. There was free Wi-Fi and a TV, plus cleaning supplies, a dish towel, hand towel, vacuum cleaner, and iron. The owner had also left us coffee pods, tea bags, and sugar. The shower came with gel and towels. It’s close to the station, shops, cinema, restaurants, and other places. Most of the time it was quiet, though we could hear the people upstairs creaking around on the floorboards. A couple of practical things: the old elevator was out of service, so pack light. And don’t arrive too late if you’re driving, since there are only four parking spots for a dozen apartments. We found a free space about 400 meters away. We had a pleasant stay and slept comfortably, with the option to eat in.

For the money, it was very good. The apartment was nice and clean, and the bed was comfortable. The only catch is the cramped toilet space. You wouldn’t want to be too tall or too heavy.

The apartment was clean and quiet, with secure parking, and the city center was walkable. Everything was organized well, and it had just what we needed.
