Great location, comfy beds, wonderful walkable city. We very much enjoyed our time here.
HOWEVER —
To get in: 2 flights of narrow, curving, concrete stairs. One of us has balance issues and this made it quite scary to go up and down.
Dangerous: only one key to get out. If someone is remaining while the other goes for a walk, you are literally trapped in case of fire.
The upstairs bedroom is in a loft, dangerous stairs with handrail too short, guest fell on last 2 steps at night.
Large TV hanging precariously off wall at base of loft steps.
No handles for pots, tried 4 stores, could not buy one, burned a finger.
Hot tap water BOILING hot, dangerous for kids. (Maybe this is true throughout France!?)
We read French but had great trouble deciphering instructions for all the appliances. However, once we did, they worked just fine.
Insufficient basic supplies, needs to be reviewed and refilled by owner (dirty sponges, only one napkin, too little laundry soap, we had to buy our own toilet paper and other paper supplies, etc). Owner told us to buy our own and she would pay us back.
Dijon is lovely and fun, this apartment is ideally located across from the fantastic market, and close to transportation. Owner was very prompt and polite communicator and this will be a wonderful place to stay when she has done a few updates and safety improvements!
