Charming apartment FONTAINEBLEAU SWEET HOME in the center of Fontainebleau

The apartment is very well situated in the city, within easy walking distance of the twice weekly public market , good restaurants, grocery stores and the Fontenbleau castle and grounds. The kitchen was small but fully outfitted with a full size refrigerator,hob and oven. The modern bathroom was appreciated and the bed comfortable. Early mornings were a bit noisy due to city services and a school a couple of blocks up the street. Parking was a bit of a challenge. Generally though a very pleasant experience. Claire was very knowledgeable and helpful and afternoons and evenings were quiet and agreeable with locals walking and chatting. A good time.

The apartment is a half block from the center of Fontainebleau. It's a perfect location. It's small but adequate. We had 2 people.

Fantastic restaurants nearby. Grocery is 1/2 block away. About 7 Pastisseries and an equal number of chocolate shops within a 2 block radius. Travel aid is 1/2 block away. Market is 3 days a week 1/2 block away. (The plaza is 1/2 block away that's why everything is the same distance). Lots of bank ATMs nearby.

Quiet neighbors although neighborhood is noisy at night --we kept windows open to circulate air. No air conditioning during long heat wave but we survived.

It's a short walk to the Chateau at Fontainebleau. The forest is about 1/2 mile away. The railroad station is nearby and buses run continuously til late at night. The schedule says they run every ten minutes but it seems more often than that. Bus is 2Euro. From the station, it's a 37 min ride to Paris. Train is 8 Euro or 17 round trip with all day all zone Metro pass.

Only one caution: we were not told of taxes (which were minimal) or a deposit before we arrived. They requested a $400 deposit in cash. We paid the taxes (34 E for 3 weeks) but did not pay the deposit as it was not part of the original agreement. Once that confusion was resolved, we had a perfect stay and hope to return.

L'appartement de deux pièces est très agréable, à proximité immédiate des monuments, des commerces et du marché. Confortable et bien décoré il constitue un très agréable lieu de séjour et les propriétaires sont fort sympathiques.
