The studio is on the 2nd floor of a very ancient house: stairs are narrow, steep and very dangerous if you have big suitcases ! The studio is lovely and comfy BUT situated right above a very noisy bar. Young people partied loudly under our windows until 3 am! If we closed our windows, it cut the noise somewhat but it was way too hot, as the heat was extreme. We did not get much sleep the 2 nights of our stay! We were told to get WiFi from nearby cafes and NONE accepted to give us WIFi. As we have American phones, we could not contact anybody as Messenger and What’sApp need wifi to operate. Very frustrating! Otherwise we loved our discovery of La Rochelle!
