Cité Rouge holiday rentals

Marie, our host, met us on arrival, and was very helpful with everything. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable , especially the kitchen which was fully equipped, unlike a lot of French kitchens. Opposite the canal, it is a lively neighbourhood, with plenty of bars and restaurants nearby. We really enjoyed the enclosed beautiful garden just outside of our bedroom- a very tranquil spot to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening. Marie texted us several times to see how we were doing,which was very sweet of her. It is only a five minute walk to Gard de L’Est, to catch the Metro, train or bus. Would highly recommend.

This is a marvellous property, where four of us (all retired people) spent three weeks in October 2018. We were one couple and two singles, with the singles using the two bedrooms and sharing the bathroom on one level, and the couple occupying the en-suite bedroom on the top level. This was ideal for us, without feeling crowded. The property is set within a complex of apartment houses all facing a beautifully green internal courtyard. It was very friendly, quiet and secure, in a bustling and culturally very diverse neighbourhood. The owners, Annie and Rémy, were there to greet us when we arrived, and very helpful in explaining where things were and how things worked. They were charming. The apartment is on multiple levels with staircases, and was exactly as described and pictured on the website. We had all the facilities we needed, and no major problems during our stay. I have no hesitation in recommending Annie and Remy’s property - we had a lovely time!
