About this property

Magnificent charming apartment in the historic center

Apartment completely tastefully renovated by us, located in the heart of downtown Caen, near the Place Saint-Sauveur.
Lots of light with a real view of the steeple of Saint-Sauveur church.
The accommodation is composed of an equipped kitchen, a table with two chairs, a glass roof that separates the living room / bedroom area, two armchairs, a TV on the wall, a large double bed, a bathroom, and Fiber (WIFI )
Icone Collection is a real estate portfolio, of wich some of the properties are available for rental. They have in common to be located in privileged locations within towns showing a strong historical or touristic capital.
L'Expérience d'Elie, named after Léonce Elie de Beaumont is the witness of the rise of Caen wealthiest class from the middle of the 19th century wich saw the rehabilitation of the old town, the development of the Saint-Julien district from the north. and the erection of the Saint Martin district which will later supplant the Saint Jean district - until then the historic and bourgeois district of the city -.

The building has 4 levels, each showing a fully renovated accomodation. On the ground floor, a one-bedroom apartment, on the first and second floor a one-bedroom apartment with separate kitchen and bathroom, on the top floor, a charming one-bedroom apartment with the charm of beams and views over the roofs of the old city.It had been partly destroyed by the bombardments of 1944 and the whole district has been razed to be rebuilt except for the church of Old Saint Sauveur, the pastor college and ... 1 rue Elie de Beaumont!

Perfect location and well equipped, clean apartment

Excellent location for exploring the old city and visiting the main sights. Also plenty of restaurants nearby to choose from. Rue Froide had many independent shops to enjoy.

Perfectly located, comfortable apartment.

We absolutely loved this apartment! The location was unbeatable. The apartment was clean, safe, and exactly what we needed for our long weekend in Caen. If you rent a car, there’s a parking garage close to the property that was safe and affordable! We would absolutely stay here again!

It was suitable

Convenient for what we wanted to do.as seniors very hard to bring luggage to the top floor. Appreciate the manager extending our stay for 1night. No elevators and spiral staircase.

Wonderful, charming, great location, apartment.

This apartment was absolutely perfect for two! We loved the large windows, location to restaurants and night life, and safety. I would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Caen. Tip - if you're renting a car like we did, park at Parking Indigo Caen Hotel De Ville Parking. It's very safe, about 20 euros a day, and a 5 minute walk to the apartment.

Caen wandering

The property was well located, clean and easily accessible. It was very convenient to explore Caen and Bayeux from this base. There is a lovely restaurant diagonally opposite on rue des Namps (La Casinière). My one small complaint is that no tea towel was supplied, and yet there was an expectation to wash and dry the dishes before leaving (perfectly happy to do that). I sent a message the day we arrived regarding this and no reply was received.

Some inconveniences that we overcame while staying there. However, overall a good experience.

Great location, nice apartment. However, the side tables by the bed were both broken and we were unable to use them. Our check in process was not smooth. The owner had asked us to wired money directly to their account which was not our understanding of how the transaction was mean to occur. We contacted VRBO and they contacted the owner who eventually sent us a site where we could complete payment. This was unfortunately, an unexpected waste of our time.

The location of this flat is great. The check in and comms with the proprietor were also good. The things that weren't so great: no toilet paper, no dish soap, no top sheet on the bed, bedding did not appear freshly washed, fact it's up 37 stairs is never identified. I'm glad I am young enough and strong enough to lug my full sized suit case up there. I feel for those who aren't.

Check-in was not a problem however there was an issue with payment. We had to contact VRBO directly so that payment was accepted. The landlord wanted us to go to a bank and wire the payment??? VRBO contacted the owner and then we were able to pay via a site that was sent to us directly using our Visa card. The apartment itself was good. Excellent location. The side tables attached to the wall by the bed were falling off and so we couldn’t use those either. It is a good location though. Parking is offsite at your own expense.
