This is very sad indeed. We stayed in that apartment for two weeks in December. It was well-equipped and perfectly comfortable. "Tuffaut" was a very good landlord, too. I hope he can salvage something from it and get re-established.

I stayed in that apartment last year. It is owned by two Americans and according to the information one of them posted on the link above, the apartment is a total loss. A fireman and a policeman and ten other people were injured. Thankfully there was no loss of life, although it looks as though the fire was caused by a violent explosion, apparently of a motorcycle that then set other motorcycles on fire.
My memory is that there was a storefront or two on the ground floor, no apartments there, and that must have been where the explosion was most direct.

Truffaut - how very shocking. We are glad to hear you are safe, but can barely imagine how you must feel. I am glad to hear you will assume the challenges of rebuilding. Our thoughts go to those who were injured and to wish them a speedy and complete recovery.

Iregeo, according to Truffaut's post there were twelve injuries- a fireman, a policeman, and ten others. Nobody was killed, which seems a miracle considering the fire was caused by an explosion in the middle of the night. The people who were staying in the rental apartment got out without injuries.
