Disappointing Experience
The apartment is in a wonderful location in Colmar, convenient for exploring the beautiful historic town. The building has charm and character, which I genuinely appreciated.
Unfortunately, the experience itself was disappointing. The listing described the apartment as being on the third floor, but reaching it required climbing four flights of very narrow, winding stairs, making luggage difficult to manage.
I also had cleanliness concerns. The towels smelled stale and musty, as though they had been left damp rather than properly dried. I was uncomfortable using them.
Late at night, I heard loud yelling, what sounded like breaking bottles, and a woman crying outside. While this was beyond the host’s control, it added to my discomfort as a female solo traveler.
Most disappointing was Nadir’s response. Rather than acknowledging my concerns, he repeatedly dismissed them and insisted nothing was wrong with the towels. His continued argumentative messages, including what I perceived as an unnecessary dig at my being American, felt condescending and unprofessional.
I ultimately checked out early and paid for alternative accommodations. While the location is excellent, accurate descriptions, cleanliness, and respectful communication matter. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this stay.
