Disliked: Listing accuracy
First, the positives:- good location - Nice Boulangerie-Pâtisserie across the street - Spacious main floor, with large kitchen - Nice view of the lake and mountains- Large deck with view- Safe and private parking for one car - The Internet was consistent, and fast. - There is an apartment above, but only footfalls at night once, no voices. Then the not so positives:- Constant daytime road noise from the roundabout. - An overpowering cleaning products smell that never really went away even after a week with us lighting incense and opening doors whenever possible. The laundry detergent isle of Carrefour would have been less noxious. - Pillows and bed linens smelled even worse, probably from some pungently awful laundry detergent or drier sheets. Washing them didn’t help. - There are scented smell sticks and plugins everywhere. It was like being trapped in a candle shop. - The apartment is only good for two people. The downstairs cave is cold, damp, and has a smell of mold. This room, with one tiny window up high, is a wine cave, not a bedroom. - There was an incessant whining/humming noise from the ceiling fans in the bathrooms. We had to sleep with earplugs, until after 3 days the landlord told me I could throw the circuit breaker. Silence!- Oh, and why is there a sheet of thick, clear plastic on the dining table? Seems unnecessary. - The 20 minute walk to the port is mostly safe except for a section with no sidewalk and there are a lot of cars going fast.
