Jerome and his family were great hosts and very quick with communication. They were very accommodating with any reasonable request and the space was beautifully decorated and maintained. I highly recommend staying at their wonderful guest house.
The apartment was beautifully presented and spotlessly clean. Bed was very comfortable. The balcony was well set up for relaxing at the end of the day. The owners were really helpful and friendly with great communication before and on our arrival.
Beautiful apartment which was well equipped. Jerome and Corinne were both really helpful as we arrived middle of the night and left really early morning and they accomodated both requests making our checking in and out processes really easy for us. Thank you

The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The apartment was super, modern and clean. I would buy this apartment if I had the inclination to move to Tahiti! I would definitely rent it again on a future return trip to the island.

Jerome and Corinne are very kindly people and the dog Papenoo is super.
This was our second time staying at this property in as many years! It's a great layout, nice big terrace. The owners, Jerôme and Corinne, are wonderful! They are close, so any questions or problems can/will be dealt with immediately.
The apartment is close to great beaches, it's quiet and just far enough from the hustle and bustle of Papeete.
We'll definitely go back again!

The apartment was amazing. Very conveniently located close to grocery stores, restaurants, and beaches. The accomodation has a delicious modern design with cozy and elegant touches, and a tropical flair. We made full use of the well furnished kitchen, and the washing machine allowed us to refresh our beachware daily.
Jerome and Corinne are also great resources for local tips and recommendations, dining, places to visit, etc.
We highly recommend the nearby black sand beach for sunset.
This home is located in a residential neighborhood. The apartment is beautifully furnished and very clean. The hosts were attentive and accommodating. We visited in February. It was very hot and, sadly, there is no air-conditioning. We moved the one portable fan from room to room which helped.
Overall our stay was wonderful, but we got a little lost trying to find the place at night. Even though we were later at night showing up, Jerome was there to greet us and welcome us to his home. Our only complaint was that coming from Colorado, the warm weather and humidity made it a little harder to sleep as there is no air conditioning other than a fan. It is close to the ocean, so when the evening breeze comes it does help. There is a bakery just down the street that is amazing. It is very conveniently located once we figured the area out the next morning. All in all we had a great time.
This property must have been decorated by an artist. It was spotless, spacious, and felt like home. All spaces, indoor and outdoor, were enjoyed. Thank you, Jerome, for your hospitality.
