    Very cold but that’s the nature of the place. It’s beautiful in its own right.

    Comfort and privacy of the property. I loved the mountainous landscape and the green surrounding. Perfect hideout when you want to focus.

    Maybe have some tea bags and coffee for spontaneous customers like me who reserve in the hour. Otherwise it was really nice

    The place is nested under the mountain. Very quiet and easily accessible. It was easy to check in though we made a very late reservation for the same day. The owner was really responsive and made necessary arrangements so that we could get the space within 1 hour. The studio was very clean and nicely equipped.

    Joubarbe offers a home-on the mountain side and a very comfortable stay for anyone looking for a peaceful & clean house to stay at. If you love nature and love waking up with chirping of birds then you must try.The owner is very helpful and kind. Quick response before CheckIn, very understandable on issues like early CheckIn and late check out. Customized home cooked breakfast.

    Its a great location within nature at the bottom of a mountain - with great views - and easy access to the freeway and close to a mall ( 5 mins drive).

    It is a beautiful mountainous area with nice and green views. You need a car for this area as it is a 30 minute walk from the busy market area in Moka. The place has all the basic facilities for a person who has come with the intention to explore outside and use the place mainly for sleeping. Nicole is very friendly and generous host who cooks excellent. I tasted really delicious Creole food thanks to her!

    Furniture a bit outdated/could use some maintenance. Entrance though terrace door - not sure that the tiny lock would be of any use. Wifi was really bad (I used my own internet).

    Room with own terrace; quiet neighbourhood. Maison Eureka just around the corner. Bed was comfy and the shower hot. Possibility to use the owner’s washing machine. Easy to park at the place.

    All was great, nice area, clean, birds singing, parking place, nice owner, we forgot the key one day and the owner opened so day after we brought the key back, I would really suggest ... we used the room with no kitchen but we saw an apartment with kitchen that we would use on our next trip. Would suggest this place from the bottom of my heart.
