Small Apartment - Could do better.
First surprise was the very nice garden - better than the pictures had suggested. It was good for the dogs. But inside, there were a lot of niggles. The glass sliding door did not lock, so the only way to secure the property was locking the external shutters - did not inspire us with confidence. Next surprise was the fact that the property has no oven - only a microwave/grill combi. The kettle would only work as long as you had something to hold the switch on. There was only one plug in the kitchen, so coffee maker, kettle, toaster, etc. all had to be plugged and unplugged - a real pain. The kitchen was incredibly small - no food preparation area. Just sink and 2 ring hob took up half the room - you can understand how small - did not appreciate this from the photos. There was only one armchair, which mean't one had to sit on the sofa (sofabed) that had no arms. Although lots of instruction booklets were there - there was nothing for the microwave - it as a bit of trial and error to find out what the buttons did. It took us about 2/3 days to get the balance of the hot water system right. Having a cold shower in October is not my idea of fun. The room heaters were a bit inadequate for an October break. I can appreciate in summer, when you can sit in the garden and on the patio will work well, but we only had one day in the week, where it was nice enough to sit out - we were mainly there for a nice break. The television was purely french channels - not even BBC world. Overall, it was a much smaller apartment than I appreciated when booking, that was then subsequently spoiled by all the little niggles of making it work for us. I would not consider going back again, even if the garden was ideal for the dogs.
