There is a bit of traffic noise early in the morning, which didn’t bother me at all, but some people might not like the busy street nearby.

Great location in the heart of Papeete, convenient to everything in the city if you have business, shopping or any other need to be in town. Lucie and Charles were so helpful, proactive and organized. They treated me like Ohana from the moment I booked and sent all the information I needed for the stay straight away without me even asking, taking all the guesswork out of preparing to arrive in French Polynesia. Lucie went above and beyond with getting me settled in the flat, even helping with some customs paperwork issues for my sailing trip.

Ms. Lucy welcomed us at the airport with beautiful shell necklaces, which was such a warm and thoughtful gesture. On the way to the accommodation, she gave us a short tour of the city and its main sights, which was a lovely introduction to the area. The place itself was beautifully furnished, very clean, and comfortable. In the evening, she taught my daughter and me some traditional dances and shared many interesting facts about the local culture. We truly appreciate all the extra time, effort, and kindness she showed us. This experience will stay in our hearts as a beautiful memory. ❤️

The noisy city. But if you have to be in the city you will feel cozy staying here.

Papeete has never been my favorite place to stay, but this rental completely changed my mind. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by Poehere — truly the most stunning and gracious host I’ve ever met. Her warm greeting set the perfect tone for my visit. The apartment was immaculate, thoughtfully stocked, and (most importantly) had fantastic air conditioning — a lifesaver in Papeete’s heat. With two bedrooms and two bathrooms, it was both cozy and spacious, easily accommodating a family. The décor was unforgettable, filled with trophies and memorabilia honoring a remarkable family history of champion outrigger paddlers and beauty queens. It gave the space so much character and a sense of local pride. If I ever need to stay in Papeete again, I sincerely hope this rental is available. Mauruuru roa, Poehere — you made my short stay truly special.

Everything good. Yes, there is quite some traffic on the road in front of the building, but it didn't bother us at all.

The apartment is conveniently located across the road from Paofai Garden, in walking distance to many shops and restaurants and the market. Well equipped with everything you could need, including tea, coffee, and cookies. The beds are super comfortable. An extra 10+ rating for the host, Lucie. She was extremely helpful, kind, and provided us with airport transfer at a very early hour. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Lucie made our stay in Papeete wonderful! The apartment was beautifully decorated, very spacious and well stocked. The location was in walking distance to shopping, grocery store, cruise port and a nice walk along the pier. The park across the street was beautiful. As an added benefit, Lucie and Charles offer a taxi service and an island tour. We took advantage of both. The island tour with Lucie was definitely the highlight of our trip. The island was absolutely stunning and her knowledge of the history of Tahiti made it the most memorable. Thank You for a wonderful stay on your beautiful island.

The residence was very clean and spacious, exactly what we needed after a long day of travel. The view was amazing and such a treat to wake up to! Lucie was so sweet, and went out of her way to make our stay pleasant.

The elevator wasn’t working one day so I had to carry my bags down a couple flights of stairs. WiFi doesn’t extend to the room further from the lounge.

Really spacious and clean apartment that is perfect for family or group travel. Lucie the host is very responsive, warm, and helpful. The beds were so comfortable. The location is convenient, across the street from a park that is great for walking and watching sunsets, near to good restaurants, and a short walk from a supermarket.

It’s in a perfectly safe neighborhood, but seems a little gritty when one arrives in the early morning. A couple of harmless unsheltered people sleep outside.

Just lovely. This apartment was clean, beautifully decorated and fully equipped. Lucie is a wonderful person and happy to provide information and advice. Her husband Charles can provide island tours. Ask about her mother-in-law’s jewelry store. Across the street from the waterfront park, with many restaurants, and a great place for an evening stroll. There is a Italian restaurant just downstairs as well as the pearl museum a block away. Five minute walk to Champion Grocery Store. Close to downtown and Marché de Papeete. Because it is downtown; you are should be aware that you’ll see poverty and homeless people.

The way the location was communicated made it hard to find for our cab from the airport. Messaging through the Booking.com system were not getting to the property manager/owner so some anxiety on arrival not knowing if we had the right location and we did not have access codes until the property manager/owner arrived. He was delightful and this is an outstanding property.

Great location in Papeete. Across the street from the waterfront, less than 1 block to a large Champions grocery store, easy walk to market and food trucks or ferry. Very clean, had everything to exceed our expectations. Great amenities.

Unfortunately the elevator was out of order but the owner gave us a helping hand for our luggage. A bit noisy due to heavy traffic in front on the building.

Easy access to city center, a champion supermarket and good restaurants. Ideal for a layover before a flight. Very clean and well equipped.

Wifi doesn’t range far from the lounge and slow, was a bit difficult when using apartment as mobile office. Some issues with the water pressure in both bathrooms but was much improved following repairs.

Very comfortable and clean, decent kitchen. Host was helpful with settling in and accomodating with times around cleaners. Car park downstairs very handy. Italian restaurant downstairs was tasty and handy, easy walk to waterfront and local shops/facilities.
