Very nice apartment, the view is amazing and the hosts are very friendly and responsive. Clean and comfortable.
No EU-to-UK plug adapter and the hairdryer they provided is with EU plug. We needed to buy one.

The flat layout is good, separate bedroom from bathroom and living/kitchen area, with another door leading to the balcony. View over Anse Royale is gorgeous (even from the back room on the 2nd floor, but there might be some construction in the future, so not sure how it will look like in later years, maybe only the front flats will keep the view). Decent size for 2 people if can share a bed. Owners are friendly and responsive via WhatsApp, tried to make our stay comfortable, allowed for a late checkout at no extra fee-very grateful for that, as managed to go swim one more time before getting ready for airport. Close to the beach-can walk, maybe 10-15 min, can go to either beach-by Souris Island (smaller beach, turn left on main road) or Anse Royale (turn right) which is much bigger. Mind the steel hill need to go down/up, we walked and drove (good idea to rent a more powerful car to climb that hill, it is steep!) Property is very pretty.
Communication via booking.com in planning stages was a bit problematic-long response time. Also, full price was charged months before. Cleaning lady was not good at her job, left hair all over the floor, kitchen/bathroom cabinets and some surfaces need cleaning-beautiful modern apartment- but really needs proper care. Owners had to come in late in the evening to change the bedding that was there-maybe it was just messy or not changed in some time. Also a ‘no room service’ sign could come in handy, as we asked not to clean out room after 2 days(their policy) but it wasn’t communicated timeously to the staff. Mattress needs to be firmer. Would be more comfortable if could get an extra bed in living room-but wasn’t available.

when I booked the apartments what caught me was the view -view is great. big apartment, automatic gates for the car park and washing machine which is a bonus and filtered coffee maker. good location if you staying in Mahe island( shops very close, amazing beach near)
the house need a serious refurbishment ( wobbly sockets , wobbly towel rail, shower doors have a massive gap which made floor matt always wet) minimum cutlery doesn’t make cooking very pleasant. bedsheets and towels have stains even thought they washed Fan which has been provided is very dirty and rusty and super loud. so we used aircon when it got too hot in room. One biggest disadvantage for us was the cleaning. property for entire 8 days wasn’t hoovered l. floors been swipped every two days . but every single day if you walk without the socks your feet will be dusty. Dust is everywhere where corners been skipped and all dust fly from the veranda if doors are opened ( doors wil be opened every day because no fan in living room or aircon) brush which is provided in the apartment is super old with so much someone’s hair that there is no point even try to clean floors yourself. veranda floors wasn’t cleaned for entire stay. no dusting under the sofa or the bed. considering it’s a Covid safe apartments cleaning should be a top 1 priority . to change a sheets and towels is not enough. sound insulation is not for light sleepers. constant sound of wind in the bedroom, noise of sun lounges moving from the wind in the veranda. internet was the worse in this apartment or this island , we have been in other two islands and never had issues like this.
