The property is on two floors - a duplex apartment - but felt like a house.
It has been renovated and improved to a high standard.
It provided even more than we needed - plenty of cutlery, glasses, plates, corkscrew and wonderful kitchen if you are cooking your own food. The downstairs utility/shower room eoyj a washing machine and dryer was highly useful
too. There is also an outhouse with a further kitchen (and bedroom and bathroom) which we didn't use but would have been ideal for summer evenings spent in the spectacular walled garden.
The garden doesn't get much direct sunlight in the autumn, though the temprature was warm enough to allow us to sit outside. However, in summer it would be the perfect haven from the often intense heat.
But apart from listing the property's attributes there was also something less tangible to recommend it:
It had a really nice feel, and wasn't all like a sanitised corporate letting. It had been a family home and it felt like it.
The location, though. Is as much an attraction as the property itself.
It is on one of the old city's pedestrianised streets but once inside you hear none of the hubbub. It is very peaceful.
But outside, the street is packed with restaurants, cafes and shops.
We would highly recommend Fou De Fafa.
The Palais des Papes is about a five minute walk past an array of boutique stores, more restaurants and a cinema.
The main shopping street is even closer which has a useful Carrefour City and a Monoprix dept
store while in the opposite direction,
just as close, is the main market (Les Hallles) and the central (not TGV) station is also a short walk away.
Robin checked us in personally and dispensed usual advice (and maps) and he and Elisabeth were very responsive so we were sorry we could not stay longer.
