The only issues we had which were really minor in the grand scheme of things. Pictures on listing are outdated. The beds were extremely firm and the offer for a heated pool is simply not a viable option as it simply did not heat up. We cancelled it after 1 1/2 days and refunded the remaining days. Also providing some basics such as salt and pepper, other spices, sugar, olive oil and garbage bags would be a nice touch. These are the main reasons I gave an overall rate of 4. Especially the pool. The rest was . We had a great time.

The location was really nice. The property listing did not say anything about it being a self-catering. We did not expect to have to purchase toilet paper, papertowel or trash bags for a 4 night stay. The property management requests trash be taken out daily. The listing states the property sleeps 12, we were a party of 4. Had we had even 10 people we would not have had enough seating, bath towels or kitchen utencils. The two bathrooms upstairs did not have any towels...we found some in the downstairs bathrooms. There were 6 bathrooms and at least 3 did not even have a full roll of toilet paper. The front patio doors had a broken handle and no patio furnature. The charcoal grill was clean enough to use and there was no charcoal. Had we purchased charcoal and not used it all we were not permitted to leave anything behind without being charged the security deposit. The home overall just did not seem well maintained. However, the pool was very nice, clean and inviting.

Nice place but it could have been better with a little attention to details

The house was very nice and the air-conditioning in the bedrooms was greatly appreciated. We paid to have the pool heated because we had two small children. While I'm sure it was heated, the temperature was still too low for the baby. It would have been nice if the kitchen had a few essentials like salt and pepper or extra trash bags, especially since they request you take the trash out nightly. We also needed to purchase toilet paper since none of the bathrooms had even a half roll provided.

Super séjour !

Réservée au dernier moment suite à l annulation de notre première location trois jours avant notre départ, nous n avons pas perdu au change. Maison atypique avec ses multiples volées de marches, elle se trouve dans une impasse et n est pas evidente à trouver de nuit à notre arrivée. Hormis ce léger désagrément passager, elle est grande, spacieuse, une salle de bain pour chaque chambre, une terrasse ombragée dont nous avons bien profité. Au calme et proche des commerces et du centre-ville, il vous faut quand même un moyen de transport (bus en bas de la résidence ou voiture). Piscine agréable et maison bien équipée. Le matelas de la chambre au lit double serait à changer mais ce n est qu un détail. Loueur très présent et réactif, multilingue. Nous avons adoré notre séjour ainsi que la maison. On recommande.
