  : There are some pro's to the property, mostly if you are traveling as a tourist (which isn't my case): - the host graciously agreed to an early check-in, and did his utmost best to explain me everything about the flat, its amenities and the rules about trash collection; he also took time to make sure the WiFi was working before he left. - tourist-wise, the flat is located very much in the center of the old Strasbourg, and you will find plenty of options for food and drinks nearby. Also, you will you be able to park your car in a reasonably-priced parking some 300m away, which is always a plus. My personal circumstances meant the location was less than ideal for myself, but that should not influence other travelers. - the flat is decently equipped (be aware the Nespresso machine is a "Vertuo" one that requires specific pods though), and there are no issue if you need to cook something; - the bedding options are plenty, and 4 people could easily stay there as there's a double bed, a single bed and a sofa bed available. Value for money would be awesome for a group of 4 traveling on a budget. - despite the flat being on the building top floor, the water pressure is very good, something that can be an issue in old buildings such a that one. - the flat was sparkling clean when I arrived. - the WiFi was very good with a solid and fast connection.
  : Now unfortunately there are also some con's: - due to the building configuration (something the host has no control on mind you), the bathtub is located under a diagonal beam. This means that taking a shower can be done only in the right corner of the bathtub... and even then you will bump frequently in the aforementioned beam. - the staircase leading to the bedroom is using what I call "boat stairs" (wide on the side you're supposed to put your foot, narrow on the other side) to cope with the angle, and there's no handrail. If you need to use the toilet at night, this can lead to a quite precarious situation, as it's not easy to use such a staircase while being half-asleep. Also, for left-handed people such as myself (who tend to put the left foot first), it can be quite tricky. - also something the host does not have control on but that can be said: the church nearby rings every hour, 24/7, and the bells ring at around 07:15 to call for mass (not good if you're a late riser). And in the evening, groups of people tend to congregate at the "Le Tricheur" bar downstairs for a fun and loud time until late. - the mirror in the bathroom as well as the shower curtain should be changed. - I'm 175cms, and I found the double bed a bit on the small side: if I didn't put the pillows all the way on top of the bed, my feet were going over the edge. - I was fully aware of this but... 63 steps!
