There was one downside of this place - the creeping service fees which are not declared on the Vrbo profile. The website announces that bedding is provided, but then the owner writes to you to ask for €10 per person for sheets and towels. On arrival, you are told to use a screwdriver to clean the shower drains of hair before you leave. Then on departure, with minutes to spare, you are told to clean the whole place yourself or pay another €50.
It’s not unusual to ask for a cleaning fee, but it’s normally listed upfront in the price, so the profile is inaccurate and misleading. After you book, the landlady sends a long contract, which may contain some of this information, but this is of no help to someone with limited French and English, and you see that info after you have made the booking.
Otherwise, It’s a very nice converted stone building in the backyard of the very friendly landlady’s own house. There is off-street parking, a local supermarket with a butcher’s stand across the street and a bakery within a walking distance. The house is comfortable, effectively on three levels with the top two contained within the same space (think American bar with an internal balcony from the westerns). The ladder to the top level is very steep, so there are two double beds that are out of reach to small children or older people.
The town is conveniently placed near Nîmes, Arles and Avignon.
