GUEST REVIEW

quotes symbol

Everything about Cherie and John's place was absolutely exceptional. It was the best Airbnb my mom and I have stayed in during the course of our 3 month trip across Europe. The apartment was incredibly clean and well stocked with everything we could possibly need (laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, soap, extra toilet paper, towels, dishes, cookware). It felt like we were right at home! They provided us with a guide book full of things to do in Fougeres and the surrounding areas, and Cherie was extremely responsive for all our questions and needs. To top it off, the beds were incredibly comfortable, which is a huge bonus when traveling long term. We will definitely be back for another visit to Chez Desnos in Fougeres :)
