Very fine and pretty apartment in the centre of colmar, 12 min to the train station and 5 min to the cathedral. The description says it’s sleeps 4 - it really is a small one bedroom flat with a pull-out sofa in the living room, so keep this in mind!
Description also says two bathrooms: it’s one shower room with sink and washing machine, and one WC with a toilet and sink (so again, not really for 4 people).
The kitchen is fine and relatively well equipped. Some odd spices and salt in a drawer (no olive oil, but vinegar). Dish washer tablets available but no washing machine power. What I am saying here is that while it was an apartment, we ended up not being able to use all of its amenities as there were essential things missing. Hard to imagine bringing your own soap powder for washing clothes on a trip!
There was also only 1 set of keys, and the button at the ground entrance doesn’t work, so we struggled to get around as we were three generations using the flat, not a couple with a child. This was a bit tricky to manage, so maybe ask for two keys if you need them.
We found it hard to control the temperature - there was no book with instructions to tell us how to set the timer for heat and hot water and the owner didn’t give us any information. The only book present in the apartment had restaurant info and maps of nearby villages, which wasn’t the most helpful thing. But we figured it out.
Communications were great by email - not as much mobile.
