It would be hard to find a bad summer rental in Provence, I'm sure! But my clients did have a terrible experience in Paris last month. Dirty dishes, laundry, leaks! Quel nightmare they had but they were real troopers!
ReplyDeleteAs a property manager, I get the other side... tenants want to pay little for a ritz carlton rental... then they say it is only for the two of us and 25 peoples show with kids and dogs... some never leave. They always leave a mess. I think it is like everything else. Be careful what you rent and who you rent to.
ReplyDeleteThere are slumlords and slumtents. There are great landlords and great tenants.

I have had great experiences with rentals in provence/langdoc. After renting two houses through another site, I now return each summer to a house I found through Abritel.com. The house was exactly as advertised, and the owner (who lives in Paris and rarely uses the house herself) couldn't be nicer. The people who take care of the house have become good friends, and I can't wait to see them this summer...8 days and counting!
