Très bon séjour, la localisation de l'appartement est idéale (quartier calme et assez proche du port à pied).Les deux chambres sont agréables et le logement est assez spacieux pour une famille de 4. Petit bémol concernant du matériel abîmé (casseroles/poêles, étendoir à linge) ou manquant (planche à repasser). L'hôte s'est montrée réactive et prévenante.

Precision de la description

L'annonce decrit 3 chambres alors que la 3eme chambre est en fait la piece a vivre avec un canape lit. Plutot que de parler de 3 chambres, il serait plus juste de parler de 2 chambres. Ce gite est fait pour un couple avec deux enfants et non pour 4 ou 6 adultes. A part ce point qui nous a posé probleme, le reste n'appelle pas de commentaires particuliers.

petit gite agréable

heureusement nous n'étions que cinq ( trois adultes au lieu de quatre ) , une enfant de 5 ans et un bébé de 17 mois . Le lit pour bébé a été très apprécié . En revanche le canapé est un couchage trop petit ( heureusement mon fils de 1m95 n'a pas pu venir ...) .

Un peu décevant

Petite maison de ville décorée avec beaucoup de goût. Propriétaire disponible et à l'écoute cependant beaucoup de détails négligés. A noter, pas de four comme indiqué dans l'annonce. Un peu étroit pour 6 personnes, avec une salle de bain ne fermant pas à clé. En revanche, draps et torchons fournis , très appréciables.
