“Oh boy, where do I start!? We were rather hesitant to book a property without a rating, but the pictures won us over and we don't regret it. We later found out we were the first ones to book via booking.com, so here's also the first review :)
The hosts were an amazing bunch of people and went out of their way to make our stay memorable. Caring, helpful, curious, funny, supportive and the list goes on. The owners of the place speak only French, but their sons speak English, so the communication went either through them, or via Google translate. We mentioned we were traveling with our 1.5 year old daughter, and they organized a baby bed and chair for her in advance. They told us where to go and what to see, and even invited us to have the Christmas dinner with them.
The apartment is small, comfortable, and clean. 2 rooms separated by a wall that does not go all the way to the ceiling, so not very private if that's a requirement for you. It didn't bother us. The kitchen - well equipped. We really liked the electric oven. The washing machine was useful when there was water. TV, WiFi, air conditioning, everything mentioned in the description.
But the best part was the location of the apartment. It is situated rather centrally, so that it takes about 1 hour by car to get to any point along the perimeter of the islands.
Guadeloupe is a gorgeous place. The nature is fantastic, the beaches are clean, the weather was great when we were there in December.
We had an amazing vacation, in part thanks to our generous hosts, and in part because we decided to travel to Guadeloupe.“
