I lost my wallet and the host offered to help any way she could. She also let us stay after the check-out time, which was very helpful.

“Wonderful stay”
Everything about the place was great! We got a warm welcome from our host Violet, she organized airport pick up for us, gave us all the information we needed including the bus information, and dinner recommendations that turned out to be very tasty with reasonable prices and free delivery. The bus stop is right outside the entrance, and it is a walking distance to the ferry terminal. Supermarkets are close by.Wifi was reliable, cleaning every second day, and the kitchen had everything we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

“Comfortable flat in Praslin”
Nice flat equipped with everything you need. Comfortable bed and big bathroom. There is also a washing machine if you need to do laundry. Kitchen is well equipped. Good location not far from the port and with some shops and cafe just downstairs. It is a great base from where you can move around the island and explore.

“I recommend staying here.”
Firstly, I had a very smooth communication prior the stay and the check in was easy as well. They sent clear instructions. About the apartment: spacious and very clean - so glad I stayed here! Convenient bus connections right across the street and great grocery stores and takeaways within short walking distance. Loved the added touches like shampoo, beach towels, and a washing machine. I was surprised to find out that the housekeeping even washed my dishes in the kitchen sink I had planned to wash later. You won't regret staying here!

We liked simply everything! Near the harbour, so you can walk from the jetty to the apartment, bus station in front of the house, big, nice, very clean apartment on the first floor with a view of the harbour, quiet and well equipped. We felt like a five stars hotel and we definitely recommend! Very friendly staff. Welcome Drinks in the fridge!! 😀👍😀

“Amazing staff”
The staff was exceptionally helpful and made our stay very comfortable. We rented a car with them and it was waiting for us at the jetty when we arrived. They also helped us with the booking of day tour to Curieuse at a reasonable price and provided all the information we needed about local sightseeing and transport. The apartment was well equipped. It had a fully functional kitchen, iron with iron board and a washing machine (though we didn't use it so not sure how it was). Location was close to the jetty (walkable). There were many supermarkets in vicinity and a take-out at just 150m. Parking space is available at the property. The view from the room wasn't great but overall it was a very convenient property to stay at with good value for money.

“Excellent ! Would love to come back ..”
It met and exceeded my expectations. The set up had all that was required for our 2 days stay . The kitchen was awesome and has an electric stove, microwave, kettle . It had cutlery and pots and pans, even a strainer/colander. Everything you would need for a short stay . The host had provided oil, salt and vinegar too.. The fridge was set up with water and welcome drinks. The bedrooms were nice looking with v comfy beds. one double bed and one bedroom having 2 single beds. It exceeds thoughtfulness that they had provided beach towels and even umbrellas!! There was even a washing machine provided. There are 2 supermarkets nearby and a restaurant just down the road.

Cosy, comfortable and fully equipped apartment close to ferry terminal with a bus stop right outside the building. Not near a swimming beach but easy access via bus route and only a few minutes away. Great takeaway restaurants close by and coffee shop below. Accommodating hosts allowed luggage storage and access to showers after check out.
