We picked this place for its access to the center of town, our ability to use a kitchen and washing machine, good internet access and free parking nearby. It outperformed all over! We didn't mind the 3 floors of stairs (and we're in our mid-60s), just gave us more exercise steps per day!). The view was lovely; it was quiet (no street noise); the host went out of his way (he had cereal, milk, juice, coffees and teas, a bottle of local cider and beer plus more in his well-equipped kitchen); it was a 7 minute walk to the tourism office and lots of great restaurants and shopping; easy to get out to of town to drive to the WWII battlefields and other local sights. We found everything was within walking distance, if you don't mind a 20 minute walk. We even walked to the train station for a day trip and to the Bayeux Normandy battle museum, which are both outside the main downtown area. Bayeux is a perfect small town to use as the take-off point for a several day trip to Normandy. We spent 2 days seeing the WWII battlefields, drove to Brittany--Dinan and Mont St. Michel-- for a day, toured Bayeux for 1.5 days, and even went to Rouen for a day. Can't thank Denis enough for the nice, clean apt. and his help. Only thing about Bayeux, if you need a taxi, they are few and you need to reserve them ahead of time. But it's a small town, so we just walked.
