Elegant Apartment in a Beautiful City
Sophie's apartment is in an elegant 18th-century building; when you open the huge, heavy front door and go into the foyer you are transported back in time. The apartment itself has been beautifully renovated, with a contemporary kitchen and bathroom and a loft bedroom (note: not recommended for those with mobility issues because of the steep stairs); it is a gracious,well-equipped, and surprisingly quiet space given its central location--just steps away from the Place de la Comedie, in the middle of the pedestrian zone, the narrow streets of which are full of shops and restaurants. I did not get to meet Sophie because my train was delayed, but her son met me instead and showed me the flat . Sophie kept in touch with me by text from arrival to departure, asking how I was doing and whether I needed anything, which made me feel warmly welcomed. It was very hot when I was there, but the fans in the living room and bedroom kept me comfortable at night. It is a perfect apartment for a solo traveler or a couple. Montpellier is a beautiful, vibrant, convivial city, easily explored on foot and by tram; with a car you get to the Mediterranean beaches or explore the Camargue, Languedoc, and Provence. I wished I could have stayed longer.
