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.
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.
This was probably the best VRBO wr have stayed at in Europe! Super clean and great communication with owner!

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.
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
Wonderful appartment, fully equipped, very good communication with the owner, appartement is nice situated and the beds and shower were fabulous!

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.
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 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.
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.
This is a fantastic, well equipped apartment, with everything you could possibly need for a break in the city. The position is great for public transport as well as being with easy walking distance of the city centre and all the attractions of Caen. The owner is very helpful and approachable.
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
Excellent apartment,where everything is as described.
This apartment was everything we could hope for, which made our stay in Caen and visit to Normandy a joy. It's location enabled us to explore and enjoy Caen on foot and for trips around the area it was such a relief to know that there was private designated parking to return to. A 5 star bonus. Overall, we would not hessitate in reccommending this great little apartment to others
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.
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.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at City Break in Caen. The apartment was tastefully decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied with cooking utensils, cookware and dinner ware. The neighborhood is very quiet, which was important for us after a long day of exploring Normandy sites. There is a small market across the street. Several very good restaurants within a short walking distance. We found proprietors at restaurants and shops very pleasant. Michel was wonderful to work with before our stay, during our stay, and departure. Instructions were very clear. We would love to stay again when we visit the area in the future. Thank you so much!

Our stay in Caen
As we were arriving, we weren’t made aware of construction on the street we needed to turn down, so it took longer than expected to arrive at the property. The owner had been in contact with me, and really wanted to know what time we would arrive, so I made sure to keep him in the loop as to our arrival time. But, as we were trying to figure out the free parking situation on arrival, my questions went unanswered for 20 minutes. Part of the problem was, there was a fob left on the counter, when we were looking for a “parking badge on the table.” So, the directions overall weren’t clear. We also discovered that the front door to the apartment property was not secure; it was unlocked every time we used it during the day and night. Another fact made known to us on our way to the apartment was that there would be no heat turned on, but a small space heater was provided, so we could at least keep the bedroom warm. It got down to upper 40s during the night, so it was pretty chilly, even during the day, with highs in the 50s to low 60s. The upstairs neighbor seemed to be awake at all hours of the night and early morning, clomping around with loud shoes on, but the owner would not be liable for that. The space was clean and having a washer/dryer was a plus.
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.
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.
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.
