Perhaps in France they have a different definition of the words ‘clean’ and ‘superb’. This property was neither. In many ways it’s lovely, but in reality it’s not as described in the listing. It’s in the old town, built into the rocks only a few meters from the river. But the area is quite scruffy and it’s certainly not in the heart of the old town. It’s also quite poorly thought through. For instance, the bathroom and toilet are at opposite ends of the apartment, when there’s space enough to have them together. Also, the fridge freezer is tall and stacked on top of a washing machine. So, unless you’re an NBA basketball player you’re not getting to the top half. There was no step ladder provided, so my wife had to stand on a kitchen chair to clean out the mold when we arrived. This brings me to the worst point: the property was dirty and damp. Not student house dirty, but not adequately clean and certainly nowhere near the standard of the other 9 properties we’ve rented on this trip. Everything was dusty, the kitchen and bathroom were not clean and there were no rubbish sacks in the bins. Worst of all, though, was the damp bedroom and water on the floor and inside the wardrobe. When I pointed this out to the host, they replied that the flat had been cleaned, that I could get some bin sacks from the shop, and that they were not aware of any damp issues. When I sent photos of the water, they stopped responding.
