The apartment is beautifully appointed with a fun mix of old and new furnishings. I'm a hesitant VRBO/AirBnB user, especially in foreign countries where language barriers would make resolving an issue difficult, but rest assured that this location is perfect, the apartment is exactly as described, and the owners are reachable and responsive. Within a one minute walk (i.e. steps away from the entrance) there is a Casino grocery store, a cheese shop, a boulangerie, and an ATM. Also within steps: an Yves Rocher cosmetic store, a Sephora, a bookstore, and countless shops and restaurants. You could hear a bit of street noise at night with the windows open but we found this charming, the point of renting a flat is to "live" in the town! Colmar is absolute heaven, like something out of a story book! Which is kind of is: we were told it served as the inspiration behind Disney's Beauty and the Beast. The owners left us a lovely bottle of wine and had a book filled with tips on places to eat and things to do, which we largely followed to the T! The covered markets are worth a stop, the tarte flambes (local pizza) were just beyond. Macarons at Gilg blew our minds, which really could be said for every thing we saw, ate, drank, and experienced in lovely Colmar. One tip: the apartment is an easy walk from the train station but worth it to spend a minute with a map because the cobblestone streets are so narrow we assumed many were just walkways and got a bit twisted while lugging our rolling suitcases! It was part of the fun, especially after we sorted out that the tasteful maps posted all over town double as free wifi spots. Just go!
