We would give this lovely apartment six stars if we could. Everything is fresh, new and selected for comfort, convenience and to be aesthetically pleasing. It is located on the edge of the old town, but near parking, which doesn't exist inside the old town limits.
The apartment is on a corner and entered though a metal doorway with steps leading up to a charming patio and private entrance. Inside the decor is modern, including a full kitchen with dishwasher, washing machine, glass-topped range, wall oven and 2 kinds of coffee makers!
We loved the comfortable king bed, not easy to find in France at this price point. There is a soaking tub and a large shower. The bathroom is open to the bedroom, including the toilet, which is in it's own niche but without a door. We've been a couple for more than 20 years but still found this inconvenient. Other features more than made up for it.
Double doors close off the living room from the bedroom. There are televisions in both rooms. There is also an air conditioner, although we didn't need it in mid-September. The owners have decorated tastefully in shades of gray, black and mushroom while maintaining the original fireplace and plaster mouldings.
Perhaps the best feature of Elisabeth's Suite was the helpfulness of the owners. They greeted us with a welcome basket of local goodies and and gave great advice about dining and attractions. They also prepared a book with lots of useful information about Sarlat and beyond.
We loved waking up on Saturday to find part of the Sarlat market set up under our windows! (We wear earplugs at night and hadn't heard the merchants setting up.)
IMPORTANT to know: there is a substantial cleaning fee payable upon arrival. We paid cash, assuming the owners had no way to process a credit card. The owners noted this fee in an email as a reminder while we were enroute to this rental. I looked through all my VRBO information and saw nothing about this fee, although the owners said this fee was stipulated in their agreement. I don't think these kind folks are pulling a bait and switch. I think VRBO has screwed up, because I have read this complaint from other VRBO renters of other properties.
