We travelled to Caen from Ireland on a motorbike trip, the apartment had plenty of space for all our gear. Lovely views of the bustling city and a short stroll from cafes, bars and shops. Great to have Netflix on the tv to watch movies and kitchen was well equipped The only negative was a damp smell from the bathroom.

Lovely apartment, would recommend to other visitors
Very central, good bars and restaurants on the doorstep and easy access to main roads if using as a base for touring the area. Parking in Caen is expensive but free in some streets after 6pm. Kitchen would benefit from a corkscrew!!
FeWo in guter Lage, aber auf Grund von nahe gelegenen Bars und Baustellen war es sehr laut.
Die Bettwäsche war fleckig, der Boden und einige Ablagen waren staubig. Für den Krach kann der Vermieter nichts, aber bei der Sauberkeit sollte nachgebessert werden.
Heel netjes en schoon en echt een top locatie.
Alles is aanwezig!

Parfait sauf la literie
L’appartement est superbe et bien équipé. Tout propre, sauf les draps dans lesquels il y avait poils et cheveux. J’ai demandé à l’arrivée qu’on les change, on m’a demandé des photos, j’ai demandé à quel numéro les envoyer et l’échange a cessé. J’ai dormi habillé sur la couette pendant les 3 nuits. Je pense que c’est une erreur de la compagnie d’entretien, mais dommage.
The owners of Icone Collection are passionate about real estate and history. They do everything in their power to make their guests feel at home in the accomodations they provide and each of the properties in their portfolio has a specific history.
L'Expérience d'Elie is no exception to the rule: when the city of Caen modernized at the start of the 20th century, the main changes concerned the education facilities. Thus, the separation of church and state in 1905 gave the city the opportunity to build a high school for young girls on the grounds of the Ursuline convent destroyed in 1910. The high school (now the College Pasteur), of which Jules Oyer was the architect, opened in 1914. Likewise, established here for centuries, the old university has extended and occupied then the area between the streets Pasteur, aux Namps, Saint-Sauveur and the bedside of the old Saint-Sauveur. 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!
