--- Studio am Strand ----

In fact, the presence of bedbugs (a scourge of tourist areas) was unknown until you reported it; it was therefore a very recent occurrence and has nothing to do with cleanliness. Insects are found everywhere, including on public transport, and may have been brought into this flat – or any other – by tenants. The experience was therefore unpleasant for both you and me, and I am sorry about that.

I am glad you enjoyed your stay. As for information about the apartment, everything is explained in the welcome book—in French, admittedly. I had intended to translate it into English (though I would also need to do so for Italian, German, and all other foreign guests), but nowadays it is so easy to find translations using Google Translate or similar tools—just as I did to reply to the 29 messages you sent over the months. The Wi-Fi code is indeed long; it takes 30 seconds to a minute to enter, compared to the three seconds required for a simpler code. The sofa does creak a bit—I acknowledge that—and I am considering replacing it, though I worry a new one would develop the same issue very quickly; that is the problem with convertible sofas that accommodate guests of all shapes and sizes. I regret that the comfort level doesn't match the King-size beds at the neighboring hotel (which shares the same location and sea view but charges €300–€450 per night in high season); I chose to keep my rates modest, but I will try to improve the comfort. Best regards, Martine

Merci, Lucie, pour votre retour. Je suis contente que vous ayez pu passer des jours agréables à Menton. Bien cordialement, Martine
