This lovely home was the best rental in our many years of travel. The apartment is even better than the listing photos show - very bright, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and the bathroom is large. There are two sunny terraces. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to town, and a local supermarket within a 5 minute walk. The owner Martine is very welcoming, helpful and accommodating, and gave us lots of great advice about Aix and also for other areas in the region. We hope to return to stay at Martine’s lovely home again and highly recommend it to any travellers who enjoy feeling like they are staying in a real home.
A wonderful host from the moment we booked. Gave us a full tour of the house with lots of helpful advice on places to eat and visit. A lovely apartment to stay in with great facilities. Secure parking.
This property exceeded our expectations on many levels. Martine is the perfect host. She is very helpful and accommodating. We were looking for somewhere we could relax and chill out. This house was so comfortable and quiet yet only an easy 15 minutes stroll to the centre of town. The house has lots of old and interesting furniture and artifacts. We would definitely return.
This property is about a 15 minute walk to the center of old town. We were able to park our car in the drive way and not drive until we were ready to leave which was a real plus. The bed in the back bedroom is more the size of a regular bed so smaller for 2 adults. Martine was there to check us into the house and allowed us to stay later in the check out.
Charming, comfortable, character filled apartment with a lovely garden, all amenities and secure on site parking in a great neighbourhood in a quiet area. Easy walk into Aix and all the markets, shops, restaurants and all historic attractions. Martine makes your stay even more enjoyable by being such a kind, helpful, thoughtful and very warm person to know. Martine has the perfect knack of being always on hand should you need her but completely unobtrusive too. She was a great help retrieving a parcel the local post office lost and I doubt we would have got it back without her insistent help. We were very sad to leave and could have stayed there for another month or two if time had allowed. 20 stars.
First of all, the host greeted us with a smile despite our late arrival due to a flight delay in Marseille. She was instantly friendly and walked us through the house to make sure we would be fine for the night. The house is called House with Character, but it can also be called House with Charm. We loved the place with its high ceilings, blue shuttered windows, welcoming dining room, and comfortable furniture, and coming home to this place every evening added something special to the Provencal experience. The beds were also very comfortable.While we booked for 5 of us, there were 4 in the end, and we felt the place was roomy. It was a quick, easy walk into the center of town and a short Uber ride to Château La Coste, where we visited twice. The bus station where we met our daughter was also a short walk from this home. We loved the markets, cafes, and museums in Aix- all nearby.Martine, the host, was lovely, the house charming, and Aix was fun. I would love to repeat the experience and stay here again one day.
The property was clean, comfortable, safe and convenient. Nicely decorated. Communication with host was excellent. Kitchen had all necessary equipment. Outside table in a sunny location was available which we used. Secure off street parking. Excellent property and host. We would definitely recommend this property and host.
My friend stayed 2 weeks, in which we did a lot jf travelling around Aix. She returned home and I stayed 2 weeks longer. Martine has always been the modt wonderful host, from day 1. Her property is lovely. And I will return time
Martine met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property. She was responsive when we had questions. Property is comfortable and very near the center of town.
Martine is an awesome host. The place is just outside the busy area but very walkable: the town center, the market, and even bus stations are all within walking distance. The on-site parking is awesome, and all 3 rooms are nicely put together. I'll stay there again next time should I visit Aix again.
We stayed for 4 nights to explore the Provence region. Parking was easy and walk to town for the Saturday market was great. Martine was really helpful and left lots of information and tips. The flat was large and kitchen well equipped although we ate out most days
Aix is a great place to experience Provence from and this house was perfect for our needs. A 10 minute walk from everything in Aix with parking and less than an hours drive to most of Provence, From Toulon, to Marseille, to Arles to Orange. The three bedrooms was great for a couple with 2 adult children. I would stay here again if I am ever back in Provence!
Communication with Martina was great- she was so kind, helpful with local information and flexible.
For our family of 5, this house had everything we needed, including 2 outdoor areas to relax in the sun. . It’s close to the bus and shops but in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.
I highly recommend Staying here for a relaxed family get away
Beautiful section of a house in proximity to the old Aix. Martine was most accomodating and the place even had two terraces, and a nice private parking spot. We were two couples and enjoyed our 5 days in the area, with this wonderful pied a terre. Hoping tocome back one of these days. Merci Martine
Property is lovely. Close enough to walk into Aix, far away enough to not have to take a car through the narrow streets of it. Superb air con in the 2 double rooms. Everything you could possibly need in the apartment, especially in the kitchen. Mme Honorât was excellent throughout. Highly recommended.
Charming and quaint home within walking distance to everything!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our host, Martine, was so lovely and helpful. There were three of us - all adults- in Aix-en-Provence to visit my daughter who is studying there. We could not have picked a nicer home and location. The house is charming and clean and wonderful and it is within a 5-10 walk of everything you may need- yet It is in a very nice quiet neighborhood. I would go back and highly recommend this property.
Martine's lovely home in Aix-en-Provence was perfect with a beautiful location; 3 very comfortable bedrooms, charming porch and terrace. Everything very clean and neat, with a nice kitchenn dishwasher and washing machine. Martine is very interesting and was extremely helpful. A good supermarket is nearby and it's an easy walk to Centreville and the bus plaza. We highly recommend staying with Martine!
We chose this property for its location in a quiet neighborhood that is within walking distance of Aix’s famous markets. And for its reasonable rate. We got much more than we expected. We loved eating on the two terraces, one for morning, one for evening. The kitchen was tiny but well-equipped, and the nearby grocery store was a plus. We slept like babies on the beds and enjoyed hot showers in the modern bathroom. Appliances were easy to operate. Martine, who lives below, was helpful but not intrusive. Our stay was so pleasant and trouble-free that we are already talking about coming back for a longer stay.
My mother (74 years), my sister (44 years) and I (47 years) stayed in this property for one week in September and enjoyed every moment. The house is very lovely and spacious. There are two big terraces with nice views and we liked to eat our breakfast there, as well as having occasional drinks. The house is very nicely furnished, bathroom and kitchen are well equipped and clean. The mattresses in the bedrooms are of very good quality as well as linen, and we slept comfortably. The house is situated in a wealthy and quiet neighbourhood, a short walking distance from the old town and city center. We didn't have a car, and it was easy to move about without one. We enjoyed our time and recommend highly this house for people who want a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. The owner is kind and very helpful lady, and she makes you feel like you're a welcome guest in her home.
We stayed at Character House for two months and loved it!
Madam H. was an absolutely terrific host. The apartment was very quiet, clean and great value. Two bedrooms are very spacious, the third one is smaller with one twin bed. The beds are very comfortable beds and the bedrooms have lots of storage. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and food preparation. There are two separate terraces, one with morning sun, the other with afternoon sun. There is a lot of comfortable living space.
Madam H. was very helpful with local knowledge and even helped us to receive mail from Canada. The location is a short walk to the historical centre and quiet. A grocery store (Casino) is about 200 metres. We highly recommend this home.

We spent nearly four weeks in this wonderful house in a perfect location, just a ten-minute walk from the center of the old town of Aix. Driving access was simple approaching from either side of Aix, although once you were there you could walk almost everywhere you wanted to go, even to a nearby grocery store. One of the least expensive gas stations in Aix is just two blocks away. The parking is a major plus as street parking, at least in this part of Aix, can be scarce and expensive. As other reviewers have noted, it takes care to drive through the gates into the parking space, but after a little practice we handled it easily with a Renault Captur.
The apartment had everything anyone could want for either a short or long stay. The two main bedrooms are large and have plenty of storage space, our bed was quite comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with necessaries, and the bathroom has more than enough hot water for two showers. The internet was good. The washing machine was an added plus, with a large sturdy drying rack to set up either indoors or out on the terrace (if the wind is not blowing!). And the front and back terraces were both lovely places to have lunch or an evening aperitif depending on the direction of the sun or wind. Unquestionably the best aspect of all is the delightful host, Martine, who lives downstairs and is available to assist in any way but also gives you plenty of privacy. Thank you for everything Martine! We were very happy to stay here and would come back again in a heartbeat.
