The appartment is situated just outside the old quarters of Tours, so very close to the lively part but just off the main roads so it's been very quiet, esp. during the night. It's on the 3rd floor, just under the roof. There's no escalator but that hasn't been a problem at all. The appt is extremely weĺl equipped, both with kitchen utensils as well as some food like pasta, rice, spices, etc (you are asked to re-stock).
On top of all these positive amenities ranks the friendliness of the hosts. Never before did we have such a warm welcome.
Thank you Laure and Jean-Jaques.
