Apr 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice loft apartment Overall our stay was wonderful, but we got a little lost trying to find the place at night. Even though we were later at night showing up, Jerome was there to greet us and welcome us to his home. Our only complaint was that coming from Colorado, the warm weather and humidity made it a little harder to sleep as there is no air conditioning other than a fan. It is close to the ocean, so when the evening breeze comes it does help. There is a bakery just down the street that is amazing. It is very conveniently located once we figured the area out the next morning. All in all we had a great time. ##### Roy V.

The apartment is close to great beaches, it's quiet and just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Papeete. We'll definitely go back again! ##### Rosemarie Michaela W.

Very conveniently located close to grocery stores, restaurants, and beaches. The accomodation has a delicious modern design with cozy and elegant touches, and a tropical flair. We made full use of the well furnished kitchen, and the washing machine allowed us to refresh our beachware daily. Jerome and Corinne are also great resources for local tips and recommendations, dining, places to visit, etc. We highly recommend the nearby black sand beach for sunset. ##### Natalya Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Barbara K.
