We enjoyed a week in the apartment “Sous les Cocotiers”. From the apartment, it is a short drive to Saint Rose and just a slightly longer drive in the other direction to Deshaies, so the apartment provides a convenient base for exploring the island of Basse-Terre. The apartment is simply but adequately furnished and our dining room on the covered balcony provided a comfortable place to dine and to hang out. All the bedroom windows are fully screened, so we were able to sleep with the windows open and did not need to use the air conditioning. There are two WiFi networks in the apartment. Both worked from time to time but both were unreliable and seriously annoying. The supermarket, within easy walking distance, is large and well stocked. We enjoyed the beach path which is easy to access, well maintained and stretches for kilometers in both directions. Mr. Bianco is helpful, speaks good English, and is extremely relaxed. The whole atmosphere of the place is as if you have been invited to stay in his family compound.
