Reviews of Dar Lebharr Studio

Everything about the studio is just awesome

First of all, let me explain what the place is. It is a two story residential building (they are adding a third story) with four apartments on a major road about 2 km south of Kelibia. It is exactly on that road, so it is like a school or the police headquarters a bit down or an agricultural supply store or something public. It is not in a residential area. If you have a car, it is not far-- maybe 2 km-- from downtown Kelibia, and you can see the sea from the property (though I don't know how to get there). It has a small garden in the back with tables and chairs and a fireplace that is nice. There is no front desk, no staff around (though someone will give you the keys and show you in). The apartment I was in was of a decent size with a small kitchenette (dishes, hot plate, small fridge, sink, microwave, coffee maker) and a large bathroom (the shower has no walls or curtain, so the floor gets very wet). The only windows were over the sink. The bed was fine. The mattress was hard, which I like. The pillows, however, were very large decorative cushions, so too big to sleep with. The towels were great, the TV worked fine, and wi-fi was good. They let me use the garage, which was kind. I think this would be a nice place if you were two people planning to go to the beach every day and, maybe cook for yourself.

The location is not good if you want anything other than the experience of living in a room in the suburbs of a town. The house is very isolated, so it's like you are housesitting for someone who lives there while s/he is away. The entrance to the apartment is in an alley between two buildings. It is not at all dangerous, but it's just not very charming. There was a cat there who would not leave me alone if I went outside. It followed me and rubbed up against me. I did/do not welcome that but could do nothing about it (I'm not going to kick it or anything like that). I would not say the apartment struck me as tremendously clean, but I cannot point to a specific way in which it was not clean. Maybe I am always suspicious of sheets that are floral and of many colors and not crisply tucked in. The water at the sink is very salty. That's fine, but they should put a sign that warns of this. I made coffee with the water and couldn't drink it.
