A nice flat with a lovely view
We spent a very nice week in this flat. Françoise and Patricia were very welcoming and helpful. Having access to a private garage in St Malo was a huge bonus. The flat itself is spacious and very well located, we loved watching the sea from the living room window. The only downside was that the flat wasn't as clean as it could have been when we arrived - we had to start our stay with wiping dust and grime from some surfaces and appliances. We've been coming to St Malo for a few years now, and from our experience this seems to be a frequent problem in St Malo. We also travel a fair amount in Europe and usually find that the cleaning fee is included in the price and the flat is cleaned properly before guests arrive. In St Malo the optional cleaning fee is very high (one can have a cleaning lady in for about 5 hours for the equivalent of 60 euros around London ) and most disappointingly doesn't guarantee getting a clean flat on arrival e.g. if previous guests opt out and don't clean very well themselves. We chose to do it ourselves this time and certainly left the flat cleaner than we found it. I'd so much prefer to pay for professional cleaning upfront. With this sorted, I wouldn't mind staying in this flat again as it's nice otherwise.
