Our experience was wonderful! The check-in process was very clear and secure. The apartment was spacious, and exactly like the photos. It was clean, fully furnished and in a great location. We were able to walk to restaurants with ease. We would stay in this apartment again, if ever visiting the Normandy area.
Lovely apartment in a pleasant building and street near the railway station and city centre. Well equipped, with everything you need for a relaxed stay. Friendly host that arranged everything perfectly. I could not think of an apartment better suited for a stay of a few days to several weeks for 1 or 2 people.
Great location for being near the train station. Apartment was clean and comfortable. Good communication with Michael. Couldn’t get TV to work but could have been user error. Only issue of concern was very little lighting in stairway/hall leading to apartment- not something that can be controlled by owner but worth mentioning.
Very comfortable, spacious . Rain shower is apartment located near train station. Grocery store and bakery in same street. The apartment was a great base for exploring the attractions of Normandy. Bed is comfortable, amenities are good, we had everything we needed. The rain shower was excellent. I recommend this apartment and would stay here again.
From the moment we booked Michel's apartment, he kept us informed and met us on our arrival. We were simply stunned by the layout, decor and cleanliness of this apartment. It had everything that one would need during our stay. As an added touch, Michel provided a wonderful bottle of chilled juice and a snack each. I can highly recommend this apartment and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Thank you Michel.
We had a very nice stay at the property. Parking was a bit challenging but we were able to figure it out with the owner's help. Minor issue with the shower drain but will likely be fixed for the next renter. The only issue is the heat. There is no AC so we had to buy fans to sleep. It was incredibly hot and although there was a slight breeze with the windows open, it was not enough for us. Not the owners fault but something to note if you are staying the the heat of the summer as we did. Overall, great property though. Clean, comfortable and well located.

Really clean, comfortable apartment with a washer and dryer, very appreciated after a long journey. Michel did a great job providing us with all the directions necessary to make check in easy and to get the most out of our stay. Great host.
Michel has created a relaxing and convenient environment which is in a great spot for exploring Caen and the surrounding area
The check in and out were faultless and the apartment incredibly well equipped
I’d definitely recommend it

It was a very nice and clean property, and we had everything we needed for our 4 day stay. There was a bakery and grocery store just across the street. However, this apartment is in Caen, and it gets VERY cold, but the heating systems inside the house were not adequate.

This was the ideal place for our one-week stay. Perfect location just across the river from central Caen and it’s delights. Very central location for day-trips, touring in Normandy. The host was very helpful and easy to reach before and during our stay. Local bakery, grocery and many restaurants gave our trip the wonderful, neighborhood feel we longed for. Clean, comfortable, stylish…perfect for a “couples” getaway week. Thank you.
Apartment is very modern and clean.the outside of the building needs some T.L C. Communications with owner are excellent All in all a great place to stay, when exploring the coast of Normandy
10/10 for everything.
Very quiet apartment but easy walk to centre. Free, secure parking at the back of the apartments. Restaurant next door also very good.
Plus a brilliant shower!
We stayed for 4 nights in September. We found the apartment to be very modern while maintaining a lovely ambience. It makes very good use of the space available. We used it as a base for travelling to Bayeux and the normandy beaches. The city itself has a lovely old centre with nice independent shops and historical sites.
This apartment’s location is fantastic, just a 10-min walk from the train/bus station. Inside, we were so impressed with the design, cleanliness and comfort. The owner has been generous with equipping the place, and his instruction manual makes it easy. We were delighted to find a corner market across thestreet
This property was absolutely lovely. The apartment was spotless and very well appointed. We were within walking distance to convenience stores, restaurants and shopping. It was also very easy to drive out of the city from the location.
We had a wonderful stay in this location. The owner was kind and left treats as a welcome. It is modern, clean, safe and has an elevator! The parking was very important to us and we had no problem with accessing it. It was very close to a grocery and bakery. Highly recommend this location as a base for travels in this area.
We wish we could have spent more time at this lovely, comfortable apartment. It had everything we could want for cooking, sleeping, and relaxing, and it was also an easy walk to restaurants and the metro. Caen is a charming town. We visited the Chateau and the Memorial war museum--both well worth a visit.
This is one of the best VRBO properties we have stayed at. We were greated warmly and felt right at home immediately. The apartment is nicely decorated and the kitchen has everything you need. Location is perfect. Property is quiet. Thankyou for a fantastic stay. Sharon and Steve
Michel's apartment has set a new standard for rentals. It is beautifully decorated, very modern throughout. We cooked quite a few meals and the kitchen is fully equiped. The living room is very comfortable and having a washing machine to do a little laundry was a bonus. We would gladly stay there again if we are back in the area.
Très beau séjour à Caen et un plaisir de se retrouver dans cet appartement cosy après les visites de la ville et ses alentours. Un accueil très agréable, on y trouve tout le confort en plus d'être bien placé, sans oublier une propreté irréprochable. Merci pour tout. Pascal et Fatima.
Enjoyed the in-town location and the convince to the train, Hertz and many restaurants. Car parking was a bit scarry since it was a rental car and not knowing the safety of the community. All worked out well though. Did not use the apartment for more than sleeping but was well suited for many activities such as meals and hosting guests.
The apartment was clean and very homey. A perfect balance of simplicity and charm. Michel met us at the property and showed us around. It had everything we needed for our 5 night stay. The location is an easy walk to train station, but in a nice neighborhood. Several good restaurants, grocery stores, and a boulangerie close by. You can take the bus to the Caen WWII Memorial museum from the stop in front of the apartment. The city also has a nice trolley system from the train station. We had a car for 3 days to explore DDay sites and Mont Saint Michel. We were able to park in the lot near the building. Michel leaves has an excellent manual with pictures to show you how to access the lot. My only concern is that the apartment was a bit cold in 50F weather. We tried turning on the heaters, but they didn’t do much. I think this was more a French aesthetic than anything particular to the apartment. We were glad we had cozy loungewear and the apartment had several extra blankets. We wish we’d had more time and hope to come back someday.
