The house was in the center of a charming little village and was walking distance from various restaurants, shops, and a pharmacy. It was a good size to accommodate 7 of us. It was also well-situated for visiting the D-Day beaches and cemetery. Annabelle also seemed quite kind and responded quickly.

The host informed us one week before the trip that there would be a 120€ cleaning fee. She blamed it on a glitch on Booking. Normally it wouldn't have been a big deal, but we didn't appreciate being informed at such late notice. Especially because the host said that this was the 19th time that it had happened. After so many "glitches", you would think that the host would double check and inform the guests ahead of time or maybe add it into the description of the house, just in case. Furthermore, we weren't really sure what the cleaning fee paid for, considering there was no hand soap or toilet paper (so we had to go out and buy it), there was old somewhat rotting fruit in the kitchen, and the ironing board was disgusting and unusable. To make up for the "glitch", the host said that she would offer us bath towels (which are usually 4€ per person); however, we were only provided with 6 towels instead of 7. Unfortunately, the experience just seemed like a greedy money grab.
