Mallorie & Pierre were very communicative and friendly right off the bat. My husband and I stayed in their lovely 1 bedroom apartment from August 15th- 22nd, 2019. They granted us early check in as our plane landed quite early and we didn’t have a rental vehicle till later in the week.
First of all, the place was only about 15- 20mins from the airport and was quite easy to find. We walked daily to the shopping centers in both directions and really enjoyed checking out all of the cafes and restaurants. There was a great size asian supermarket that we were able to buy groceries at within a 1 minute drive or 5 minute walk.
Check in was easy! Upon entering the home we were delighted with how clean it was and the set-up of everything. They had beach umbrellas and yoga/ beach mats right next to the door. Make sure you take your shoes off!
The couch itself wasn’t very comfortable especially if you wanted to do some late night relaxing before bed, but it was very lovely looking and didn’t pinch you like it might look like… Plus I did see it beforehand obviously on airbnb so we kind of knew what to expect.
Unfortunately, we couldn’t get the chromecast to work on the television (& we have chromecast at home, so we really tried to troubleshoot the thing) so we didn’t end up watching any television the whole time we were there, but it was nice to unplug for a while nonetheless.
The kitchen area was beautiful and we loved being able to use the rice cooker. They had snacks for us on the dinner table which we didn’t really touch, but was much appreciated. We really got a kick out of the “Got Milk?” picture hanging on the kitchen wall and it made me laugh every day. There was a dishwasher which made cleaning dishes a breeze.
The bathroom was lovely and there was basic necessities provided such as body wash, shampoo and conditioner and of coarse tissue & plenty of towels. I did use the jet tub which wasn’t insanely clean (I can only imagine how difficult it is to clean out every one of those jets,) but it was nice to light some candles and relax in a jetted tub for sure. Watch your feet! When showering (especially with my husband) we did hit our feet several times on the tub filter, but it’s gotta be there for filtering so, we just tried to pay more attention each time we took a shower.
The bedroom was so nice and simple and the carpet was so clean and felt great underneath our feet. The bed was made nicely with fresh linens but, was a bit too firm for our liking, the pillows were perfect! We slept fine though considering we were pretty much exhausted each day and muscle relaxers helped too. There were fans available for use & really helped when it got hot, which it wasn't too bad considering there was no A/C.
We didn’t actually meet Mallorie until about half way through the trip, but she contacted us several times to make sure everything was going well.
The only other thing that took a bit of getting used to was trying to get in the actual front door, make sure you turn the key with the knob in order to open it, I kept trying to unlock it and then turn the knob, but we got it figured out.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and appreciate the effort that Mallorie and Pierre put into this apartment and making sure we were happy. We would 100% stay at this location again! Obviously not everything was perfect but, what is?
We highly recommend this apartment and the location was awesome!
