Premiere location! spotless!

this is an incredible property in the heart of Marseille - SUPER close to EVERYTHING! Stylish, clean and comfortable with a well-equipped kitchen. The only negatives were: very low water pressure, no dishwasher pods or coffee provided and only one key. The 5 tall flights of stairs were great exercise and only burdensome for arrival/unloading luggage (but the manager helped make that easier!) and when we wanted time on our own and my husband had to come down them to let me in because we only had one key. A 2nd key is much more important because of those stairs (especially if we had stayed with another couple and there was plenty of space for that). But the pros FAR outweighed the cons and we had a WONDERFUL stay. We would stay here again for sure.

Nice location, below average stay.

We arrived and had trouble getting in contact with the concierge that we were supposed to meet. Once we were in contact he gave us a tour of the flat. Most everything appeared to be as advertised. It is well appointed and in a nice area of the city. While the flat was nice and clean, the building it's in is an utter disaster. Filthy, smelly, and 4 flights of treacherous and difficult stairs. We had some issues that came up. We were a group of 4 adults and the flat contained 2 rolls of toilet tissue. When I contacted the concierge to ask that more be dropped off, he told me that the listing only promised 2 rolls of toilet tissue. I double checked the listing—it absolutely does not say that. This is why Vrbo properties are frustrating, it's simply not a hotel-like experience. I shouldn't have to purchase my own toilet tissue. The idea that I'm going to have the host nickel and dime me over something like toilet tissue is immensely frustrating. There is a clothes washer that worked well. However, the "dryer" is the same unit—it did not work at all. After attempting to dry my clothes for 3+ hours, I took them out and hung them to dry. The washer works well, but do not count on being able to dry your clothes. Lastly, in spite of paying a daily cleaning fee, you are expected to leave the property spotless and take out your own trash. I was told by the concierge that I should just find a spot or a bin on the street to leave the trash. Not the way I wanted to end my stay.

In the heart of things

Large sunny living areas overlooking a wonderful square. Bedrooms are in the back where they are appropriately quiet. Furnished in Haut IKEA, which is perfect for a rental. Note that it is four flights up, but we (in our 70s) found it no issue. Recommended!

Schöne und großzügige Wohnung im Zentrum von Marseille

Man wohnt direkt am Cours Honoré-d'Estienne-d'Orves und nur 100m vom Alten Hafen entfernt in einer schönen und gut eingerichteten Wohnung im 4. Stockwerk. Die großzügige Wohnküche (mit großem Tisch und Sofa) hat drei doppelflüglige Fenstertüren vor denen über die gesamte Breite der Wohnung ein schmaler Balkon liegt. Bei den Schlafzimmern (ein Großes und ein Kleines) sollte man sich klar machen, dass sie lediglich Fenster in einen Lichtschacht, ohne Aussicht auf den Himmel haben. Im Sommer ist dies vermutlich von Vorteil, doch im Winter ist es recht dunkel. Ein weiterer Vorteil an der Lage der Schlafzimmer ist, dass man - anders als in der Wohnküche - deutlich weniger Straßengeräusche hört

Agréable mais bruyant

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans cet appartement bien équipé et agréable. L’appartement est très bien situé dans le vieux port mais 4eme étage sans ascenseur et EXTRÊMEMENT bruyant : bars et pubs ouverts jusqu’au bout de la nuit - passez votre chemin si vous recherchez du calme. Manque de pression pour prendre une douche ou dans la cuisine.

Superbe séjour à Marseille

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour à Marseille. L'appartement est idéalement situé pour visiter la ville. La pièce de vie est très agréable car elle est très lumineuse, sans vis-à-vis et possède une décoration soignée. En revanche, nous avons rencontré des difficultés pour joindre la personne nommée par le gérant immobilier qui devait nous indiquait la procédure de remise de clés et nous avons bien cru ne jamais pouvoir récupérer les clés!
