Jean is a terrific and generous host, communication was smooth, and his wife welcomed us with fresh flowers and some snacks/drinks to start our stay off right!
The apartment itself was a bit disappointing for us and felt like it was past its best time. It is listed as a rdc/groundfloor apartment, but is actually a semi-basement; half underground with small windows on top. This prevented light to come in. As we stayed for 2,5 weeks during the most sun-kissed summer period France has ever seen, it was a pity the place was completely covered in darkness and we needed to put the artificial lights on at any time of the day. We opened up all windows during the night, but circulation remained very poor, with humidity rising to 85% inside. That didn’t help our clothes dry, which would have been convenient with a malfunctioning dryer. The small vent in the bedroom must be closely connected to a neighbor’s as the room was injected with a strong smoking odor or coffee smell depending on how lucky you were.
This listing might work for others, but for our expectations it just wasn’t a match, regardless of Jean’s great care.
