Perfect for my family, we needed a triple room. There was a bus stop about 100 metres from the property.The bus's came every 8 minutes It was quick and easy to get into the city and also access the old city. There are quite a few great restaurants close. Also two laundromats and a great hairdresser.

Payé 102 livres pour une chambre de bonne minuscule et surchauffée. Aucun personnel d accueil. Totalement impersonnel. Vendu comme bed & breakfast mais pas de petit déjeuner. Trop cher pour ce que c est.
