The studio is very clean, well equipped and comfortable. There is one large room that contains a queen size bed, table for eating and small kitchen area. A second room houses a large shower with great hot water and very good water pressure. There is also a washing machine. This is one of the few rentals that had extra supplies for our stay.

FP FB β€œEve” Planes flying into/from Papeete from other islands rarely align time-wise with international arrivals/ departures. I found a small bungalow (run by an awesome Tahitian woman) about two minutes from the airport. She comes and picks up you and your luggage from the airport, takes you to her airconditioned bungalow where you can shower and re-organize (she has free Wifi too) and then she takes you and your luggage back to the airport the following day, or whenever your flight is. All this shuffling of people and luggage is included in the cost of the bungalow, which was around 100 USD for 1 night.
