We loved everything about this tidy, comfortable, spacious apartment in the French countryside. Every detail and decoration in the apartment was perfectly thought out. We felt right at home. The bed was comfortable. We were able to do a good deal of cooking in the well-appointed kitchen.
Liliane was an incredibly gracious and accommodating host. She met us upon arrival and not only showed us the (easy) workings of the apartment (stove, window shades, etc.), but also gave us local maps and helped us locate easy driving routes to our various destinations (Bayeux - 10 minutes, D-Day Beaches - 20 minutes, Mont St. Michel - about an hour and a half; all worthwhile trips!!!).
The apartment is part of the larger (lovely) house, but has its own private entrance to the outdoors and feels very much like a stand-alone place. There is one flight of stairs to reach the apartment. The apartment's floor plan is open, with vaulted ceilings over a comfortable sitting area and eat-in kitchen, plus adjoining sleeping area, and a separate WC and bathroom. Everything is very clean. The apartment is light and airy; a ceiling fan keeps the air moving even on warm days (there is also an AC unit, which we did not use). Skylights open to let in fresh air, birdsong, and views of the beautiful farm fields surrounding the house. There is plenty of space for parking.
We really appreciated all the effort and care that went into making our stay pleasant and comfortable. We rent apartments frequently with HomeAway when we travel, and this has been one of the very best.
