This is the second of two apartments Claude owns in the same building in Victoria and we rented both of them. The apartments are absolutely beautifully renovated with gorgeous antique tile, artful light fixtures and other touches, on a lovely street in a great location. Claude was a great communicator and host and his sister Edwina who checked us in was awesome. Highly recommended!
We had a lovely stay here. Beautiful, comfortable, well-appointed and superbly situated. And you will not find a more charming and helpful owner. Highly reccommended.
This house is of a very high standard providing a fantastic base from which to explore this fabulous island. The excellent facilities provide everything that you will need for a comfortable stay in a relaxing environment. All the bars and restaurants are a short stroll away, but just far enough so as not to disturb you at night. Claude is a truly excellent host. He is friendly, welcoming and helpful with nothing being too much trouble. He made the process of booking etc. easy right from start to finish. I thank him for all of his great tips and advice that greatly enriched our experience during our stay. Rarely have I come across someone with so much enthusiasm and passion for his home island. Thanks Claude. If you are thinking of staying here I would highly recommend you book early to avoid disappointment!
