Great place and location
This apartment in Caen is spacious, is an 18th century building and very unique but updated for the 21st century. Elizabeth was very helpful and a welcoming host. Location is ideal for walking through this ancient city.

A jewel of an apartment
Nestled in the heart of the old part of Caen, this garden apartment is a sanctuary of peace. There is a warm welcome from the owners, who live on site, and their eye for beauty and attention to detail is very apparent. We had a wonderful time.

A perfect getaway
This wonderful spacious apartment is located right on the edge of a large pedestrian zone, so it is beautifully centrally located. While the house has a feeling of history, it has all the modern conveniences you could ask for. There's a bright fully stocked kitchen (all you need to bring is some food), a living room, a small bed area, a bigger one (with an incredibly comfortable bed) and two baths. There is a fantastic private garden and there's also gated parking. Hosts were absolutely lovely, and it truly is a gem. Would recommend 10/10!

Eine schöne Woche in Caen
Die Unterkunft liegt in der Altstadt und ist sehr schön. Das Auto kann man hinter einem Tor abstellen, so dass man sehr beruhigt sein kann immer ein Parkplatz zu haben die Umgebung von Caen eignet sich sehr gut, um viele Entdeckungen zu machen. So zum Beispiel die Landungsstrände, Badestrände und viele interessante alte Städte mit hervorragenden Museen für Kunstliebhaber.

Wir habe die Zeit in der Wohnung sehr genossen. Freundliche und unkomplizierte Vermieter, haben ein entspanntes Ambiente geschaffen. Das Parken im Hof nimmt viel Stress weg und ist ein echtes Plus für eine Wohnung in so einer zentralen Lage.

Wonderful Caen
The apartment is spacious, the furniture all comfortable and everything clean. There are French doors in each room leading to a lovely garden area that we had to ourselves. The location is ideal, a short walk to the center of town and the tram yet very quiet. If we get the opportunity to come back to Caen we would stay here again. Also, our hostess was delightful and very helpful. Finally, the city of Caen was a wonderful discovery for us. We didn’t know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised.

The perfect place
Elizabeth was a lovely hostess and the place was perfect for us. We loved the charm of this 19th-century villa and the location was perfect - right downtown, yet tranquil. Communication with Elizabeth was easy, as she speaks both French and English. I highly recommend this place.

Beautiful house in the centre of Caen
Elizabeth’s is a most elegant house with a lovely garden, just minutes from the central Place St Saveur. Elizabeth welcomed us most warmly to our comfortable rooms and modern bathrooms. Sitting in the salon, one feels like an 18th-century duchess. We recommend Boulangerie Marcel in the Place and La Casinière restaurant almost next door to the house. A great spot from which to visit Caen and the rest of Normandy.

Entzückend-charmant
Wer den Urlaub in einer ganz besonders schönen Ferienwohnung verbringen möchte, ein wenig wie in einem Schloss, trotzdem mit einem hochmodernen Bad, welches geschickt im Schlafzimmer verborgen ist, verbringen möchte, dabei nach nur ein paar Schritten im lebendigen Caen sein möchte, der ist hier genau richtig aufgehoben. Die Wohnung empfing uns super sauber und perfekt ausgestattet. Jeden Tag von neuem bot sie, drinnen und draußen, viele Details fürs Auge. Dass die Normandie, mit Landungsstränden, das Pays d'Auge etc schnell erreichbar sind, ist ausserdem ein Pluspunkt. Auch in Caen habt es viel zu bestaunen. Danke an Elizabeth für das gute Kümmern.

Incredible Location
Location is steps from castle, restaurants, bars and shopping. We had a car, but 24hr tickets on modern tram system was only 4 €. Parking is secure at your doorstep. Owner is a delightful, kind and attentive host. The flat is a comfortable blend of quirky and modern. The master bath shower was top rate. We’d definitely stay here again.

Wonderful stay in charming downtown Caen apartment
Perfect location with private parking right in the middle of Caen. Walking distance to l local shops, restaurants, and attractions. Wonderful to have an apartment all on one level on the ground floor- only one step between the entry hall and the living room. Apartment is perfect for two people. If you are more than 2 people, be aware that the second bedroom is very small and you must walk through this bedroom to reach the master bedroom. Hosts are great - very accommodating, speak English, communicate well, etc. We were given welcoming gifts - a bottle of wine, apples, cookies, etc and told not to hesitate to contact them. Each bedroom has its own full bathroom both with a toilet and sink and stall showers only. If you are only 2 people there is a one-time fee of 15 euros to unlock the second bathroom. We stayed for a week and felt this was a great value to have a two bathroom apartment. Kitchen is small, but we’ll-equipped. Only downside is that there is only a counter-top oven. Full-size refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave oven, and washing machine were much appreciated.

Très beau lieu, très bon accueil
Elizabeth a été très arrangeante sur les horaires et a aussi revu le devis, à la baisse, alors que nous n'avions pas sélectionné les bonnes options. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié sa flexibilité et son honnêteté. Le gite est vraiment très beau, très lumineux, ancien mais propre et bien équipé. Les salles de bain notamment ont récemment été refaites. Nous ne nous sommes servis que de celle de la grande chambre et elle était très confortable et agréable. La localisation est super. A deux pas du centre, mais très calme. Nous avons passé un excellent séjour et recommandons ce magnifique gite chaleureusement.
