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 ...) .

Très bien situé à proximité de la gare. Les chambres sont très bien. Le canapé lit est un peu enfoncé et pas agréable comme lit.

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.
