I like the location of this place. There's a very nice coffee shop right next door, which offers a cozy atmosphere perfect for enjoying brunch and a cup of decent coffee. The baristas are friendly, and the menu features a variety of delicious options, from freshly baked pastries to hearty breakfast sandwiches. I would highly recommend this place to anyone planning to visit in the future.

Fully fully furnished, you will not need anything else.
The place is cozy and very romantic.Noel from United Kingdom (8/10)
Communication before we even left home. We were asked about the likely arrival time, which was before it was due to be accessible. We were able to access it much earlier and the access instructions on gaining entry without having to wait on someone coming were perfect.
Location is brilliant. Coming from the airport it was only a short walk after one tram change. Airport to the front door was probably 45 mins.
Plenty of restaurants close by. A mini-market and boulangerie within 3 min walk.
Office de Tourisme and main shopping areas within 10 mins walk. No hills, all very accessible.Ashleigh from Australia (8/10)
