“Très bon séjour”

The surroundings were pleasant.

“Sejour de deux semaines au Cocon des îles”

The value for money was good, and the room was medium-sized, comfortable, and minimalistic. The living area was nice, and the bathrooms were clean. The two bathrooms were simple but effective, and the kitchen had the essentials. The kitchen equipment was a bit old, and there were ants in the kitchen; this was reported and should be resolved.

“not recommand for people not speaking french”

Reaching the place by bus from the airport was straightforward. The real problem was that I couldn't find Micheline or Melanie to be supportive, helpful, or cooperative. Micheline repeatedly demanded extra money for things. I understood the check‑in times, but I didn't want to arrive too late or too early; it was 1.5 hours before the regular check‑in, which would have cost 20 €. When we agreed on the standard check‑in, I told Micheline I would be at the nearest bus stop (about 50 m from the apartment) and that I was on the bus, giving exact arrival times that matched the agreed check‑in minute (just 7 minutes later). She still wanted me to call when I arrived, which I did, but she left her house and I waited almost an hour at the bus stop with all my luggage. She didn't communicate clearly where I should go—she thought she had said the right words, but to a stranger lost in a new place, a hairdresser somewhere not obvious and a supermarket with multiple entrances is not a clear meeting point—so she demanded another 10 € for this short pick‑up at the bus stop (again maybe 50 m!) because “her car parked at the hairdresser’s place” and she was tired of me not understanding her French. All of this was a misunderstanding, but after an hour of waiting I was exhausted and fed up with the complicated back‑and‑forth. In the apartment there was a brief introduction from a “roommate” named Alex, but then I had to sign another agreement in French—if you don’t want international guests, just drop them and don’t take their money! Not everyone speaks French when traveling. A simple paper is not too much to ask for to be translated into two languages—easy with Google Translate and printable for other guests.
