Just outside of Paris, the accommodation is an ideal place to explore Paris but also to relax. We really enjoyed the stay. Special thanks to Sandrine for the very nice support! Gladly again.
Les points faibles : Emplacement et exactitude de lâannonce
Sadly neglected vacation home
Not worth its 4.8 star rating. We suspect that many guests are not quite honest because the host, Sandrine, is such a nice person. Kind, bilingual, and helpful. We have long hesitated to write an honest review, but we do feel the need to warn upcoming guests about what to expect.
When everything was new, a few decades ago, the converted barn must have been truly amazing. Now, sadly, the place is not kept up.
What was good: the bed linens and towels were fresh and clean. The surfaces had been cleaned.
What was not good: many cod webs hanging from the high ceilings, mold in the kitchen drawers, the master bathroom had not been scrubbed in the corners, and has an old, moldy shower hose.
The furniture is so old that the seats of the dining chairs and sofas sag badly and give no support of comfort.
The worst disappointment was the outdoors. The place has direct access to both a private backyard and a private terrace, that have clearly not been maintained for years. There are weeds everywhere. No proper outdoor furniture. The once enthusiastically started planters with herbs and veggies, are terribly overgrown.
The large covered patio area that obviously was meant for the renters to use, with a pingpong table and other games is unorganized, dirty, and uninviting.
Another warning: the hedge is very overgrown where the driveway gives access to the road. One person needs to stand on the road to give an âall clearâ before exiting the property by car. Very dangerous situation.
Superlocatie als uitvalsbasis voor sightseeing: Parijs is hiervandaan goed bereikbaar. Ook vele andere mogelijkheden in de omgeving! Mooi en compleet huis met een heerlijke tuin, heel rustig gelegen. Van alle gemakken voorzien, een aanrader dus!
Our stay was wonderful. Beautiful setting and home. We enjoyed cooking and spending family time with wine and cheese both outside and inside the historic barn renovated to a comfortable home.
Sandrine was very helpful; provided assistance with directions, places to see, and even dried our laundry for us one evening.
Thank You!
We stayed one week with 6 persons in this well-equiped house. The building has a nice design and is equiped with all you need. In less than a hour you are in the centre of Paris. The owner speaks very good English.
