This is a very efficient apartment in the heart of Ecusson, the historic center of Montpellier. You will walk up a narrow street of cobblestones to get to it, open the dark green door and face cement steps that have been worn down over the centuries. Inside the apartment everything is modern and works - air-conditioning, dishwasher, clothes washer - but outside you are surrounded by history. And, because of all those wonderful alleys filled with bakers, shops, and galleries, you can get places quickly by foot. Explore and find your own favorites.
This apartment is not 5-star in the luxury sense. It is 5-star because it provides exactly what is offers: the experience of living in a historical setting with "mod cons." Because of its size, I think it the apartment is best for a single or couple. While there is sleeping space for more, logistics would be complicated. It's a couple of blocks from Rue Foch - the most elegant shopping street in Ecusson. Going the other way, it's about 8 minutes to the main plaza - Comedie.
I am so glad that I stay in this apartment for two weeks, and I wish it could have been for longer. Thank you Josian!
