A couple of days exploring the area, Caen made a good base. This is a comfortable b&b (breakfast is extra) parking in place de la république is easy and 3 mins walk. No lift which made it a bit of a hassle with our luggage and no one there to check us in but info was sent via email.

Excellent visit ! Thank you for being such great hosts. The coffee/tea station in the common area was simply wonderful and location was perfect. The only challenge was the pull out sofa bed with an uncomfortable mattress as well as a pointy metal bar sticking out at the bottom of the bed which could have caused injury (we had to cover it up by wrapping towels over it) but overall excellent hotel that has everything we needed. Merci !
