First the positive, it is quiet (except for roosters and other sounds of nature) and close to a beach with potential for beautiful sunsets. The air conditioner in the bedroom and the fans in the kitchen and bedroom worked well. It is kept very clean, although there are tiny ants around the kitchen sink which must be hard to eliminate. Just keep anything open in the refrigerator.
The things worth knowing include: The hostess spoke English about as well as I speak French (very little, but can be expected in Guadeloupe), but managed to orient me to the locks, wifi (which only works in the kitchen), gas stovetop, garbage and TV; Entry into parking with 1 person would be very tricky as you have to block a one way street on a steep hill while you open the gate and then pull or back though the opening and down to the parking area.
The things that could be improved to make a more valuable property and enjoyable experience: No toilet seat, shampoo, screens or curtains on windows. Only 1 of 3 windows has glass, so have to use external shutters to have privacy and try to keep bugs out. No shower surround, just old mats around the tiny shower area and a long squeegee to push the water from the bathroom floor back towards the shower drain. Functional, but old towels and bedding, mismatched dishes and cracks in the plaster.
