We had the pleasure of staying here for over a month, from June into August this year. It was the best location—in the heart of Petite France. Everything was just steps away, making it easy to drop things off from one of the many upscale boutiques or a quaint farmer’s markets and then head out again. Many days we enjoyed entertainment coming to us as we flung the windows open to hear a strolling minstrel.

The flat itself was very stylish and seemed larger than the photos depicted. Many rentals offer a good location, but are Spartan; reminiscent of student dorm décor. For us, part of the vacation is about staying in a place that is charming as well as comfortable. The half-timbered walls and beautiful old building made us feel like we were immersed in the culture and history of Strasbourg, yet the amenities were modern and appreciated. The shower was very modern and to American standards, and the strong Wi-Fi signal permitted us to easily Skype family back home.

There is a small cobblestone street below with a creperie/gelato café and some great little restaurants. We enjoyed watching them set up their café tables, arrange fresh flowers, and write the day’s menu on blackboards every morning. There was so much to see and do—the different market days, street festivals, museums and events showcasing the 1000 year-old cathedral kept us entertained. The train station is an easy walk and connected us with many wonderful little side trips as well. The town and surrounding area truly felt like a fairytale lifted off the pages and came to life!

This apartment was such a good value on so many levels. We send a warm thank you to Delphine and her associates for making it a most wonderful stay.
