Pros:

Tout était bien, chambre, salle de bain, il y a suffisamment d'espace dans le dressing c'est pratique. Sauf erreur je trouve étrange qu'il n'y pas de prise des 2 côtés du lit.

A real find, central, friendly,,warm, with charm
Pros:

Location is fantastic as it aligns les halles, restaurants, bars, beach and sea front. It is boutique, charming and quirky, with a nice, simple, unpretentious style - great bed, shower, and double windows opening to hear revellers and morning birds alike- I loved it.

Cons:

Breakfast was good, coffee, croissants, fresh juice and baguette with president butter, lovely, but I am a little greedy and love a buffet breakfast, but saying that, the cafe/ restaurant is lovely downstairs, with little sparrows accompanying us for petite dejeneur, tres chic et tres Francaise
