Lovely family apartment close to centre
We were here for three nights and enjoyed our stay despite the rain and wind. The location could hardly be better: two minutes from Square Darcy, where the two trams and most of the city buses stop; five minutes from one of the main shopping streets; and ten minutes to the Palais des Ducs. The historic centre is almost completely pedestrianised so walking around is very easy.
There is a Spar supermarket directly opposite but also an organic shop in the main shopping street and a choice of bakeries nearby. Of course, there are lots of restaurants, cafes and bars too, but we preferred to cook in, particularly since the kitchen was very well equipped and we were able to use some of the various oils and vinegars left by the owners.
The living area is very nice, high and spacious, with antique (if rather uncomfortable) furniture, the dining area is also large and light with its plastic roof, and the garden would be an absolutely delightful place to while away some time in more clement weather. Beds are comfortable, although we found the duvets rather hot and the pillows a bit soft (but that's an individual taste). Neither room is very dark, despite the shutters, and the front room gets some noise from the road when the windows are open.
The owners were delightful and easy to communicate with. You can tell that this is a well-loved home that they have decided to make available to visitors and we appreciated all the pictures and family photos. We would certainly stay here again if we were ever back in Dijon, a much under-rated city.
