Basic with safety hazard
The house was clean and comfortable but had some drawbacks in layout and would not pass safety checks for rental properties in the UK. The main problem is the kitchen which was dangerous. It has a hob, a sink and a draining board without any work surface. We had to use the kettle and toaster on the draining board, which would be an electrical hazard if wet. When we left dishes and food packaging on the hob, we had to take care that the rings were not hot so as not to cause a fire. This is an accident waiting to happen and must be corrected.
The kitchen could be larger if the toilet were moved to the empty corridor by the front door and the kitchen were moved back into the toilet space. Otherwise it needs at least a folding work surface next to the shelves.
There is no toilet in the upstairs bathroom which meant going downstairs in the night to use the toilet. There would be enough room for a toilet upstairs if the bath were replaced with a shower.
The flat was in good repair but the development looks a bit run down and needs a coat of paint. The swimming pool is great but is overshadowed by the building site and large cranes next door.
The house is in a good location and we enjoyed ile de re very much.
