Grenoble is a very pleasant city that can be reached easily via public transportation (it is served by TGV lines to Paris and Lyon) and by car. We stayed at the apartment for ten nights with a big family consisting of four children and two parents. The place is definitely large enough to accommodate such a group. It is located in the heart of the city, steps away from Place Victor Hugo, the commercial center, Bastille, and public transportation. The many skylights in the apartment's ceilings offer plenty of light in all rooms and excellent views on the Alps and Bastille. Tall people should mind their head at all times, for roofbeams might get into the way at some times. The apartment is excellently equipped, with digital TV, a kitchen with dishwasher, oven and microwave, two toilets, and a washing-machine. Linen and towels are provided by the owner, who was very responsive to our inquiries.
On a less positive side, parking a larger car in Grenoble can be a pain and a costly affair; we parked ours at Place Vaucanson, which costs about 24 € a day. The apartment's location on the upper floor and the lack of an elevator might not make this place suitable for those who hate climbing staircases. Another element, which keeps on popping up in reviews, is the bad odour produced by the shower drain. A plumber's intervention (immersion tube) should fix this, and we don't see why this isn't properly done. Finally, we noticed cigarette smoking entering the living-room through the floor, coming from a lower neighbor. Some insulation and a splash of silicone left and right might solve this.
Otherwise, we certainly recommend staying at this correctly priced place.
