Great property for 2 couples . Nice and close to old town but far enough out with lovely view over park to get away from town hustle . Easy walk to train station. All cooking utensils to make great home meals after visiting local markets . Highly recommend the property
We had a week in the apartment in August. Check in was very easy and we were met by Nolven who was very friendly and gave us a tour of the apartment. There were some confusing instructions about the door locks on the back of the door, but Nolven advised that they were in the process of being updated.
The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable, with everything you would need for a short stay. It was very hot when we were there and we were particularly glad for the electric blinds and airconditioning which shielded us from the worst of the heat and made it a welcome place to return to at then of the day.
It is in a quiet area about 10 minutes walk from the centre of the city and Aix is a great place to use as a base to explore surrounding areas.
Unfortunately the boulangerie around the corner was closed for August, but we found a fantastic alternative about 10 minutes walk away, Boulangerie Hat's Aix.
We would recommend this apartment to those wanting to explore Aix and its surrounds.
Aix is a lovely city. The flat was very comfortable and welcoming

Très décevant !
A notre arrivée nous avons constaté que le garage était trop petit pour notre voiture familiale, la propriétaire et la gérante nous on dit que c’était la première fois qu’on leur disait..à nous de nous débrouiller pour trouver de la place sur la voie publique.L’état général de l’appartement laisse grandement à désirer, tout est vieux et en mauvais mauvais état.
The property was exactly as advertised. It was within easy walking distance of downtown areas and points of interest. There was a lovely bakery and a high end restaurant within a very close distance.
Host was attentive and we were glad to have on-site parking and security.
thank you Sophie and Najwa
The flat is as good as advertised, a spacious, beautifully equipped apartment with balconies all around, and a beautiful view of the Parc Jourdan. Time at the playground, meeting locals, was particularly delightful for the 5-year old among us. Despite a withering heat wave, the flat stayed cool with excellent AC, and the walk to the city center, just a few minutes away, was pleasant. Good value and great amenities. Would stay there again!

Great apartment! Great area!
Although we were rushed by Najwa as she had another person to check in, we managed to figure most things out.
We missed her daughter’s door ring as we didn’t know how to use the phone, but no worries!
We loved the apartment and hated to leave after 2 weeks!
If we return to Aix, we would definitely stay here!
Sophie was a great host. Despite challenges with bathroom timing she was very communicative, responsive, and accommodating.
We loved the place- so sunny, and the location was superb - overlooking park and 10 min walk to just about everything. The place was very well stocked - kitchen, towels, etc.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sophie’s place.
Only suggestion - put that beautiful rug shown in the photos back in to warm it up. The photos really sold it and that rug helped make the room come alive.
We definitely recommend this place for travelers to Aix!
Les points positifs : emplacement proche du centre d'Aix, quartier calme, résidence agréable.
Les points d'amélioration : Un souci de salle de bains et l'électricité qu'il convient de comprendre pour savoir comment s'allume chaque lumière.
Ces détails seront probablement résolus.
Our group of 4 friends stayed at this property for 1 week. Very good location. The parking spot was locked, with gated access. We had a Toyota Corolla and it just fit.
The apartment itself had a large common area facing the Parc Jourdan with 3 french doors opening unto a balcony. We kept the ice bucket in the shade out on the balcony.
The apartment, while flooded with light during the day, had dim illumination in the evening hours- many floorlamps. This gave the apartment a wonderful evening ambiance. The over-the-range light switch was broken, but by inserting a key into the slot and manually sliding the moving part inside, it was possible to turn the light on and off.
The dryer is an evaporation dryer. The dryer door requires encouragement to stay closed - prop the door shut with the laundry hamper set on a towel on the floor to anchor it. The washing machine worked well & smelled clean. The water pressure in the showers was good. Hot water - no shortage. Radiator heat. Remember to open the bath window to help control the post- shower humidity as there is some paint peeling in the baths. Some caning on the dining chairs was broken. The apartment was clean, the beds comfy. The second bedroom was made up with two twins. The kitchen had plenty of plates, dishes, champagne flutes, wine glasses and cheese knives etc. The lower kitchen cabinets smell of cooking oil that has not been cleaned - a bit rancid. Perhaps a deep clean there could be arranged :) I would rent again👍
The unit was spacious and airy but many of the chairs were broken. There were numerous tables and useless stuff. Many lights didn't work and there was an unpleasant smell emanating from the kitchen drawers. The deck furniture hadn't been cleaned. The place could be exceptional but needs some TLC.

Wanted to love it
We were met at the apartment by the owner’s partner’s assistant.
She was friendly and gave us a tour of the apartment. It was spacious and filled with light during the day.
About 10 minutes after she left I noticed a substantial leak under the master bedroom sink .
There was a small glass bowl that had been put there to remedy the leak but by our arrival it had served no purpose.
I got in touch with our contact who let us in and she made her way back to us the following evening. She said she need to get a plumber and shut the water to the washing machine off.
We were no longer able do laundry without disrupting the leak. We had purchased detergent and were looking forward to doing wash after 4 days in Paris.
In the meantime I had let Sophia, the owner ,know that there was a leak and that apartment was not cleaned well.
A dirty coffee maker , rug not vacuumed and crumbs on the dining room table .
She apologized.
The rest of our stay was uncomfortable, not knowing what was really properly cleaned. The blankets in storage were dirty, lamps not working and the first mug I pulled from the cupboard was dirty with coffee stains ( the kind that clean off)
The property needs more attention and a deep clean. Good location and lots of potential.
The space was large and comfortable. The local stores were convenient. The walk into town was easy. The host was responsive. The place worked very well for us.
Beautiful 2 bedroom apartment. For Europe, this apartment is like a penthouse. Very spacious. Most comforts of home. Close to a wonderful bakery and small market. 10 - 15 minute walk to center of town. Once rental car was parked in very tight garage, it stayed there until we left. You can walk everywhere or there is a bus line in front. Nolvin was a great support with advice and suggestions. ❤️
The apartment was spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well supplied, the front terrace was very nice, the bathrooms were adequate. The location was good; it’s a 15-20 minute walk to most places. Sophie was very prompt in answering emails and thorough with her information.

Nice partement, needs work
The apartment was very spacious, with a large kitchen, which we appreciated, and two full bathrooms. It was however not very clean, there were crumbs on the dining room table still had crumbs on it from the previous guests, so the table cloth hadn’t been washed and the placemats not wiped off. The nice large balcony was very dirty, like weeks or months of dirt and had five completely dead and brown plants decorating it. There was not dishwasher soap tablets, so I emailed the manger but never received a reply, so we bought our own. Bedroom light bulb out and no extras. Two burners on the stove didn’t work. Nice large place but needs work!
This apartment was perfectly located in the center of Aix, across from lovely Parc Jourdan. It was a quick walk to the restaurants and shops of Cours Mirabeau. We picked up our baguette and viennoiserie daily from Au Pavé du Roi, which was a 5 min walk down the street. The apartment was spacious, clean and well equipped. Beds were very comfortable as well. We especially appreciated the parking garage, which allowed us to use Aix as our Basecamp for the week. From there, we could conveniently drive to Arles, Avignon, the Luberon and Cassis. Tour á fait parfait. Sophie was very helpful and responsive, and we were grateful for her hospitality.
We loved our stay here! It was the perfect size for our group of 5. Easy walk to Cours Mirabeau and lots of other sites in Aix. Property manager was easy to reach and flexible with checking in and out. We would stay here again if/when we return. Thank you!
Die Lage und die Wohnung sind sehr gut. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt genossen und sowohl Aix als auch die Umgebung von dort aus ohne Probleme erkunden können. Bei der Abreise gab es ein Kommunikationsproblem mit der Agentur vor Ort.
Das Apartment ist ein Traum! Sehr schöne Ausstattung und Lage an einem kleinen Park, Bäcker um die Ecke, Supermarkt und die Innenstadt in Laufnähe. Wir haben die Woche in dieser schönen Wohnung sehr genossen und geben 5 Sterne! Einziger winziger Wehmutstropfen sind die Studenten, die ab und zu nachts im Park gefeiert haben - aber das verzeiht man dieser tollen Stadt, in der das Leben pulsiert gerne - man ist ja im Urlaub ...
