Lovely Provence
Aix en Provence is beautiful. The apartment was convenient to everything in the village. The WiFi hardly worked which was very frustrating, it was difficult to get our host to respond. Our weekend stay in the village and surrounding area was wonderful but our apartment stay was just ok..

Ruth, Thank you very much for the feedback- the internet is working as long as you enter the correct password- with no spaces. You had both our telephone numbers Noemie and I and next time text WhatsApp or call instead of sending email. I replied as soon as possible. So happy you enjoyed your stay and the location of the apartment- kind regards , Marie - Pierre

Simple, pretty, great location!
Rented this for my son and his fiancé while we were nearby in Aix. As it was literally steps from where I had lived years ago in my twenties, it hit all the right notes. I wanted something charming, authentic, tasteful and clean. It's right in the heart of the city, yet a quiet street. Check-in was the only negative as it was pouring rain-- which is unusual in Aix--- and we had to wait outside15 minutes for the manager to get there. That said, I would definitely rent it again or recommend it to friends.

Charming location, close to restaurants and market
We enjoyed our stay. The flat is quirky and individual, which we liked. The toilet arrangement (up some awkward stairs off the kitchen) is a bit strange. And it wouldn’t suit anyone with mobility issues as it’s up two flights of spiral stairs. The property is very quiet and peaceful despite being very close to the centre. The restaurant next door is excellent.

Excellent location
Very nice apartment in an excellent location near the historic centre. On 3rd floor with spiral staircase. Very good wifi and well equipped apartment. Toilet off launch and up a stair which is a little odd but it’s in an old building. Washer/dryer and dishwasher all appreciated.

Dream vacation
The apartment was exactly as described. It is right in the middle of Old Aix, three minutes walk to the Cathedral and Cour Mirabeau and close to everything. It is well furnished, comfortable and well equipped. We had an issue with the TV and Noemie was over in an instant to assist us. Great place that I would recommend to anyone. I would not recommend if you have mobility issues as the apartment is on the second floor of an older building with circular stairwell. It could be charming for some but challenging for others.

Perfect spot
The location in the old town was very close to the center. And the apartment was in a quiet corner, away from the crowds. It was perfect. A two minute walk to many restaurants and historic sights. I loved the old building. It made me feel like a part of the old neighborhood. I could watch the street activity morning and evening from the window. I liked hearing the church bells too. The apartment was very comfortable, especially the bed. The bed was one of the best I ever slept in. I highly recommend this apartment.

Exploring Aix en Province while escaping the Canadian wi ter
I stayed in this lovely apartment for a week in the old city close to the sites. As it is within a pedestrian area it was quiet and peaceful. The kitchen living room faced onto a courtyard allowing the sunlight into the space. The kitchen was well equipped. Noemi met me in the town square and took me to the apartment a few minutes walk away and showed me around.

Great base to explore Aix
Lovely apartment with an old soul, in a perfect location - right in the centre but quiet and very comfortable inside. It was super hot when we stayed so could do with another fan and a few more basics (like hand soap, passed this feedback on to the owner) but overall would definitely recommend! Thanks for having us stay, we had a great time.

Charmant petit appartement, très bien situé! Le seul hic, c’est que deux ampoules ne fonctionnaient plus donc il manquait de lumière! Mais ceci se règle très bien. Honnêtement, pour ce prix, je vous le recommande fortement! 💜

Perfect for my week long stay in Aix!
My daughter studies in Aix, so she checked out the location before I booked. She wishes she lived there! It is near Hotel D’ville (city hall) and in the middle of everywhere we wanted to be—flower/ vegetable markets, close to many restaurants and shops. Easy walk to bus station for day trips and Marseilles airport. We felt very safe in the apartment and the neighborhood both day and night. The 28 WONDERFUL stone spiral steps up to the apt were a challenge with my big suitcase, but if this 60 year old woman can make it, you can too! Apt was perfect for my daughter and me. Bed very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped, nice bathroom. Many thanks to Marie Pierre and Samira who worked with me on check in time. I want to come back to Aix, and I want to stay here!!

Great Location in the Heart of Aix!
My wife and I had a lovely time in Marie-Pierre's apartment in the heart of Aix! It is very conveniently located near the town square and also from a parking lot. The apartment is very clean and has plenty of amenities. My wife is usually hesitant to use vacation rentals but was impressed with the apartment's cleanliness. The apartment is located on a quiet street and the neighbors are nice, so you will get a restful night's sleep! The internet was fast and the TV had many more channels than most of the hotels we stayed at on our trip. There is an amazing madeline shop around the corner from the apartment that I went to every morning to pick up a dozen madeleines! Some minor annoyances: the apartment door is a little heavy to push open and the entrance to the building was a little difficult to find. Overall, for the price point and the amenities provided, you simply cannot go wrong with this place!

Lovely apartment in a great location
I selected this apartment for its location and its kitchen. It met all my expectations. It is clean, well stocked with functional and new kitchen, and has all the necessary supplies to be very comfortable. I stayed for a week and enjoyed easy access to the open-air market (just 10's of meters away), restaurants, wine shops, boulangeries, bus station, ... The apartment is larger than it appears in the photos and has a charming character. The owner was very responsive. A fried of hers met me at the designated spot and walked me to the apartment and showed me the essentially. Note, that it is difficult to take a taxi to the apartment, as the Centre Ville has limited traffic, but it is easily accessible from main roads. I hope you enjoy the apartment as much as I did.

Wonderful Apartment for Exploring Aix
We enjoyed our week long stay in this apartment. The location is perfect - in the old city of Aix - yet tucked away on a very quiet street. The daily markets are within a few minutes walk as are restaurants, cafes and picturesque squares. The owner is very responsive and will provide you with plenty of information to explore the city. The kitchen is well equipped if you want to shop at the markets, which you will want to do, and cook in the apartment. We highly recommend this apartment for your visit to Aix.

Thank you very much Kerry for your feedback and judging on your comment you really enjoyed the benefit of being in the heart of Aix. Great to hear. So pleased that you loved shopping local food on markets and cooked “home”. We are really happy you could make it to Aix despite troubles with trains cancellations. Would love to welcome you again soon. Take care, Marie Pierre

So sorry Gabrielle for this. The comments will be forwarded to the lady who looks after it. As for the dishes - I will have a look. The bedroom overlooks on the narrow rue Esquicho coude - the narrower street in all Aix. In the hot summer days, it is a bless as the darkness preserves the freshness - thank you for your feedback !
