spacious

hygiëne, temperature inside.

Proximity to the centre.

Not being able to see out windows. No information left, especially about the free green bus close to the apartment. Not getting details about access until the afternoon of arrival & having to request internet access at a business to receive these essential details!! No plug for kitchen sink. No communication back from the owner.

well located and clean. the bed is confortable

a little noisy in the staircase

Instead of a studio, I got an appartment, with separate bathroom, living room and spacious bedroom. The room is fully equipped to prepare a light breakfast and a simple meal. It is at less than 10 minutes walking from all the main points of interest of Metz city centre. The cleanlyness of the room was perfect, but the building has severe sanitary problems.

The living room was rather plain in terms of decoration, the bathroom was the result of 20th century French improvisation and the sleeping room was dark, which is perfect by night but not ideal by day. To enter, you need a 4-number code at the building door and a 6-number code for the interior room, with a pinpad for the latter that is only half working. You better write it all down on a piece of paper, lest you stay locked out. The single worse thing is a strange pungent smell coming out of the cellar which repeatedly penetrates the room. My clothes still stink of it, so I'll have to whash them all again while on a very buzy trip. You'll never see the hosts.

The room & location

Kitchen is missing an oven

This place is in a good location. It's only 10 minutes walk from the train station and 2 minutes onto the pedestrian only shopping street towards the center of the attractions. The cathedral is at the end of this walk roughly another 10 minutes away. The apartment is equipped with a comfortable king size bed with one quilt. The host who I communicated with was pleasant and made genuine efforts to be helpful. 

The main room serving as the bedroom and living room lacks storage space. The size of the dining room is okay but the space called kitchen is near non-existent with a sink and a small strip of counter space with a small portable cooktop on it. It seriously lacks the proper kitchenware and dinnerware to make it functional to do any cooking, maybe just a bowl of instant noodles. The bathroom is small though water flow in the shower was adequate. All in all, this apartment is only okay for a short stay of one or two nights when you don't need to cook. As the kitchen is not really equipped for a longer stay. The lack of a second bed or a sofa bed makes this place only suitable for a couple and it needs more quilts to make it the sleeping comfortable. With the cooktop sits directly under the main heating unit that uses natural gas makes the entire unit a hazardous environment. When we checked in, the towels laid on the bed were still damp. It didn't seem there were spare, towels, beddings and linen sheets to replace the used ones in between the use of the guests. This is particularly concerning in the current pandemic environment where sanitation needs should be paramount. Also, there's no hooks to hang your towels on any of the walls.

Great location, fantastic bed

sometimes the upstairs neighbours are a bit loud

The space, the location. Perfect beds and cleaning. We loved it!

Small thing: We missed a cothrack (portemanteau)
