The Rooms

The rooms at Maison Bouquiere Le Pigeonnier have this cozy, lived-in feel that actually works really well. You know what I appreciated? They didn’t try to over-modernize everything — there’s still character in the details, from the way the light hits the windows to the thoughtful touches that make you feel like you’re staying somewhere with a story.

  Quirky and nice big space

• Michelle from Ireland (8/10)

  The apartment was spacious and comfortable. Our host, Fatima, was wonderful. She got in contact a few days in advance and her directions were accurate and easy to follow. The location was excellent. Right beside the main shopping street, a tram stop, and within walking distance of all major attractions with lots of restaurants in the vicinity. The area felt relatively safe.
  
  The apartment was very clean and well equipped for self-catering. Excellent value for money. There were free pastries on arrival which was a pleasant treat. We were very happy.

• Kerry from Australia (8/10)

  A warm, comfortable and secure apartment in the old town, close to bars, restaurants, historical monuments and the river.
  This is an attic room with low ceilings in the corners.
  Something to consider is that if you have trouble with stairs, it is not for you. There are 67 of them – I counted.
