Location Appartement Cocon spacieux proche de la mer 4 personnes dès 583 € par semaine

Charmant. Agréable.

Positive:
L'appartement est très bien placé. Il est charmant et on a l'impression d'arriver chez des amis parce que tt est à disposition.

Negative:
Faire attention, il faut monter 4 étages. L'escalier est étroit, en bois, bien patiné.
Ça fait partie du charme, mais il faut le savoir et peut-être le mettre plus en évidence.
Pas de regret pour nous... Sauf l'avant dernier jour où notre fille s'est tordue la cheville et avec des béquilles compliqué car très étroit.

Spacious, bright, comfortable.

Positive:
The location is amazing in the old town. Was an easy 15-20min walk from train station. It was spacious, clean, comfortable, bright. Easy access to the beach also. Lots of great restaurants around. I happened to stay on the weekend of a pirate festival, so that was fun!
I would definitely stay again if I ever find myself in Saint Malo.
(Please note though that the stairs to access the apartment are steep and narrow so if you have any mobility issues, it may not suit your needs).

Negative:
There is nothing I did not like.

A beautiful attic “nest” in the oldest part of St. Malo. Full of charm albeit lacking frills. .

Positive:
Beautiful attic apartment in the heart of the oldest part of San Malo (intramuros). Well-named spacious cocoon, with two bedrooms and a small additional loft space.

Negative:
This clearly is primarily a personal home: not as well appointed as most “air B and B’s” in which I’ve stayed. They should be clear it’s a fifth floor walk up. No elevator. No WiFi. Some trouble w automatic communications from the service/lack of direct info.

Look beyond the rubric

Positive:
Friendly rooftop seagull.
Nice airy space.
Dawn views across the 'rade' from the children's mezzanine.
Personalised St. Malo guide materials.
Great location.
Perhaps by way of reparation, agent Thibault showed us to some free parking not too far away.

Negative:
Use of a letting agent, whose rep Thibault left us awkwardly waiting 90 minutes on the doorstep instead of being on-site waiting as per rubric in agreed Booking.com time window. Hard getting hold of anyone via call centre and when we complained to Thibault on his arrival, he invited us to to consider the following:
- there are bigger things in life to be stressed about
- we didn't have to take the accommodation, he could just close up again and leave
- we could've just gone and waited in a bar (if you know St. Malo, you will know that there's precious little parking and no waiting signs across most of Intramuros - on top of that, there were roadworks outside the accommodation so we'd unpacked and carried our luggage to the front door whilst one of us had stayed with the car at one end of the roadworks, hazards on and blocked in twice by other cars)
- it wasn't his fault that his Booking.com meet-and-greets all seemed to fall around 6pm (ours was for 4-5pm)
- it wasn't his fault that some customers had arrived late (we were on time) and he had to meet them first in Dinard
- that it wasn't working out well with Booking.com
- he didn't care if we left a bad review (we'd made no mention of leaving a review but obviously now happy to oblige).

Sorely tempted to call his bluff, we baulked at the very real potential of finding ourselves homeless on an Easter weekend. We also had a restaurant booking for a birthday meal in an hour's time. Having then taken on 4 flights of very narrow, creaky, spiralling stairs (not mentioned in the publicity) with luggage, we were too breathless for the fight on arrival at the apartment.

Remains of a spaghetti meal in kitchen bin at check-in.
A number of personal possessions in evidence including coats, socks, well-used hairbrush and manky soap in shower.
'Porn star' satin sheets, sliding off the bed and broken chair in bedroom.
