“the cleaning rules are quite rigid -- to the point of being ridiculous -- including that we have to unload all the clean dishes from the dishwasher or get charged an additional fee (AKA you have to really plan ahead if you want to use the dishwasher and not get penalized). The listing states that the cleaners only make the beds and wash the tub, which makes the $150 cleaning fee feel quite steep. It also means that the place could definitely be cleaner -- the windows were all really dirty and the floor definitely needed to be swept.”
I concur with this statement from another recent reviewer. We understood and were conscientious of the requirements going into our stay there, but felt the constant militant requests were off putting. Currently there is construction happening right next door so be prepared for additional noise on top of the highway noise which you can hear at night. If you are looking for quiet, my guess is you would need to keep all the windows closed which is not possible if you want any air circulation.
On the plus side, there are several good restaurants in the area for take away. Grocery shops are within walking distance. And the fruit tarts at La Farine Bakery…. well worth waiting on queue early in the morning for them! Our stay was not long so the property served our purposes. We wish you and the hosts best of luck. Cheers!
