Thank you very much for your feedback. We are delighted that the cleanliness, location and facilities contributed to making your stay enjoyable. We look forward to welcoming you back.
The apartment presented well and is true to the pictures. The apartment is probably best for one couple or a family as the rooms and baths are not equal and there is not a great deal of privacy as the glass wall shower is open to the living space and the second bedroom's pocket door does not close fully. The courtyard is lovely. Communication was good prior to our stay through check in but fell apart when we made a request for additional towels. We were provided with one bath towel per adult for our entire stay and one bathmat for two bathrooms. I requested a handtowel for the sinks to use after using the toilet facilities and was told that only one towel is provided. I could not seem to communicate the fact that both bathrooms were not fully equipped and my emails remained unanswered. The sheet in the second bedroom were not clean though they appeared to have been laundered. A sticky residue that could be picked off was in several areas. My request for a call about that matter to get a different sheet was not answered. I dont believe we should be expected to launder a sheet and wait for it to dry naturally . A very musty smell permeated the second bedroom throughout our stay and I dicovered a pile of wet towels shoved under the bed when we were packing to leave. Much can be forgiven with good communication . Do to the response to what we felt were simple requests, I would not stay in this unit again.

Merci pour votre retour détaillé, et je suis vraiment désolé que certains points n’aient pas été à la hauteur de vos attentes. Nous fournissons effectivement une grande serviette par personne et vous en avons apporté une supplémentaire lors de votre demande, mais nous allons revoir notre organisation pour éviter tout malentendu à l’avenir. Nous prenons aussi très au sérieux vos remarques concernant la seconde chambre et la communication, qui ne reflètent pas notre niveau habituel de service. Merci malgré tout d’avoir apprécié la cour et certains aspects du logement, et nous espérons pouvoir vous offrir une meilleure expérience lors d’un prochain séjour.
