The apartment is lovely and tastefully decorated. Location is perfect for exploring Colmar on foot. Shops and restaurants are everywhere, including a cheese shop downstairs with helpful staff who made some great recommendations (lavender cheese, who knew?) It was delicious. Know that the apartment is situated near both cathedrals and the bells toll frequently day and night, but you get used to it. Our host was amazing and very helpful with directions, parking tips and help with check-in. We had a car but only used it to visit Europa Theme Park in Germany just across the river. Otherwise, the location was very walkable, even to Little Venice. We didn't need the car again until we departed.
