Well positioned for Le Shuttle, and for the beach - if you can find a way through the private beachfront properties that block the way. No such thing as a beach view. Sangatte is primarily residential with just one good restaurant anywhere near, but if you want to stroll to a bar for a cool beer - forget it. Everywhere except the restaurant requires driving, but parking is very good.
The exterior of the property has seen better days, but then its coastal. Our apartment had benefit of some newish furniture and good supply of kitchen equipment, but poor in other ways. The outside door lock worked...only just. TV has only 4 channels, so not really worth bothering with and no chance of seeing a World Cup game. The bathroom is strictly one person at a time, and, while Syd Little might fit in the shower, Eddie Large would struggle to get inside. The shelf over the washbasin is hanging off the wall, but the main, serious, problem was the repeated failure of the cistern to refill. This meant it was a matter of luck whether the toilet flushed or not. Not good!
Overall, just about acceptable for a pre-shuttle overnight or two. Lack of attention to the basics lets it down and I would hate to think I was stuck there for a fortnight.
