    THE STEPS to the unit!! I think we counted about 90. We were aware it was a walk up to the unit. Glad we didn't have bad knees. The sofa and chair were not comfortable, which is our only complaint. It looked good.

    Highly recommend. So well appointed unit. Fully stocked kitchen and appreciated the large filtered water jug. The view was spectacular!! The weather did not cooperate so had down time for reading. Bed was very comfortable. Tasha was so helpful and easy to communicate with. Thank you.

    The only downside (for us) was the 92 steps up to the fifth floor. We had quite a bit of luggage which meant multiple trips. We didn't find out the apartment was on the fifth floor until close to check in. Would we still have booked had we known this? It would have been a consideration but, as the hosts state, the view is worth it - they are right.

    The apartment is stunning. Beautifully appointed, tastefully furnished with a light airy feel, it is clear the owners have carefully considered what guests may need. The size of the apartment is great, feels spacious and the deck has lots of room to lounge or eat outside. It is aptly named The View because the view is amazing. Clear view of the Bora Bora waters, fabulous sunsets. We enjoyed sundowners while watching the boats drift by. Could definitely have stayed longer.

    Amazing views to Bora Bora lagoon

    You need to rent a car to go anywhere.

    This apartment is a great option for a longer stay in Bora Bora. Despite that is small, you have everything you need on hand. The view from the large balcony is perfect for a romantic dinner or just to enjoy the blue lagoon!

    his is first clasTs accommodation!! The view is truly breathtaking. The Access to the apartment / "handover of the keys" is uncomplicated. The apartment is very modern and well maintained and the air conditioning is a big plus!! Only access to the apartment requires climbing almost 100 steps. Which in itself isn't a problem. Only physically disabled people would have a hurdle here.

    Fifth floor walk up, so older couples with heavy luggage may have difficulty , but not a problem for us .

    A beautiful spacious studio , with sweeping views of the lagoon , great balcony for eating dinner at night , or hanging out, the bed is comfortable, ac is great , everything is brand new , nicely decorated and stylish . 1.5 bathrooms , washer dryer was very helpful and worked well. The lagoon is across the street for swimming / snorkeling if you want . Ten minute drive to vaitape, the main town, but there are closer small markets and road stands closer.

    The boat shuttle was not very close. There were not a lot of food options close by. Definitely need a rental car to stay at this property. Also, there are a lot of stairs which makes it difficult with a lot of baggage.

    The apartment was extraordinary. The views were amazing! It was nice and quiet which was very relaxing. Jessica was very helpful leading up to the stay and Tasha answered any questions I had during our stay.

    it needs a microwave oven. The stairs… That’s the price you pay for such a fantastic view.

    it was very clean and organized. The apartment layout was excellent. Fantastic view! Stephan very accommodating, and helpful.

    Just note it is on the 5th floor and is a walk up. We're in our early 70's and in good shape so not a big issue. For anyone with mobility issues it wouldn't work.

    Extremely well equipped property. Great kitchen with ample cookware and supplies. Large fridge. Loved having a washer and dryer! AC worked well. Deck with view was spectacular. Owners were very responsive

    The thing I didn’t like about the property was that we had to leave.

    The view from “The View” was the best view we had during our 3 week stay in French Polynesia. we stayed in 3 other beautiful places, this was THE BEST! Every detail was so perfectly thought out by the owners. The Main bath and half bath, two separate toilets, “Amazing!” Stephan, one of the property managers, was extremely kind and helpful. This place is truly a Paradise within a Paradise. To access “The View” requires ascending several flights of stairs. Once you open the door and experience the view, you might agree that it was worth every step. We didn’t want to leave the place as it is the perfect sanctuary.

    You have to rent something to be able to move even if Lauren provides 2 electric bikes

    Everithing. Staying in this apartment made me curse that I spent so much money in the resorts the previous days. As soon as I arrived I dived into bora bora's life and started having fun. I was coming from three days of resort and I was about to cut my veins from boredom, then I got here and everything changed. Lauren is fantastic, kind and always present. The house has a breathtaking view and is spotless.

    Bad location - close to nothing. If choosing again I’m definitely going to stay at Matira or Vaitape. 5th floor no elevator or service - killed me to carry all the suitcases in the hot and humid weather Slow WiFi, no microwave oven. There are big drawings hang very low above the couch and the bed, had to take them off for headspace

    Good aircon, spacious rooms, recently renovated. The view is good l, but sort of similar to everywhere in Bora
