The property was clean, spacious, and had a lovely view. I rely heavily on reviews when traveling internationally, and while this place had many positives, our experience didnât quite meet expectations.The main issue was check-in. The listing stated check-in at 6 PM, but two days before arrivalâwhile already in Franceâthe host messaged asking when weâd arrive. I explained weâd be in Cassis late afternoon at the earliest and shared our itinerary. The host then informed us that we had to be there no later than 5:30 PM or we wouldnât be able to check in until 11 PM, as he had personal plans at 6. He insisted on meeting us in person and was unwilling to offer any flexibility. I found this unreasonable, especially since the advertised check-in time was 6 PM. I assumed the in-person requirement was due to the gated entrance, but it wasnât explainedâonly that he had plans. This last-minute demand forced us to cut our day short, adding stress to a trip we had carefully planned. Other downsides:-No top sheet on the bed, just a bottom sheet and comforter. -Several wall outlets were loose or hanging.-Towels were rough and very worn, felt like canvas-Egg pan was rusted, otherwise kitchen was well stocked-The unit is on a busy roundabout, so it was noisy.Overall, the location and view were good, but the inflexible check-in and worn amenities detracted from the experience. With better communication and a few upgrades, this could be a much more enjoyable stay.
