During our stay there were many apartments, including two next door to this apartment, that were having major remodelling work undertaken, with walls being removed and drilling. Unfortunately, we were not given any warning of this happening. This lasted for 3 of the 7 weeks we were there. The apartment itself was ok, but the bedroom did not have a door on it, just a curtain. To stay here you need a car as the Palace is located high up on a very steep hill, and you must speak fluent French to converse with the Guardian. All of this should have been covered in the property description.
