A Gem in Aix-en-Provence
We enjoyed every moment in our roomy and comfortable suite, which included a living room, small kitchen, bedroom, and a shining and spotless bathroom. Our stay was further enhanced by our gracious hostess, Lilli, who helped us plan a visit to Marseilles, and had very interesting insights about the Aix-en-Provence community. We highly recommend this beautiful property, situated in the central city.

Our host was delightful and so accommodating. She was the highlight of our stay! The suite was the nicest I've stayed in, spacious and clean, modern and walking distance to the heart of Aix.

Lilli and Blake have created an oasis of peace, tranquility, and beautiful taste. The suite was so tasteful and comfortable. The breakfast Lilli prepares is lovely. What makes this property exceptional is the authentic hospitality they extend to their guests. They have a binder with recommendations of what to see, great restaurants, and activities. Lilli is so warm and caring. She responded immediately to text messages. She provided some lovely spirits stocked in the refrigerator. Their property is so quiet yet you are mere blocks from the city center with great restaurants, shops, museums, and the markets. If you are going to stay in Aix en Provence, this is the place to stay!

First off, this is just an air b&b. If you want a hotel service, don’t go there. You will be asked to report to the hostess who lives there everyday. You can refuse it but it gets unpleasant. There’s no privacy. Don’t know if there’s a hidden cam somewhere. The front of the suite is all made of glasses without any blackout curtains!!! People can look straight into the bedroom!!!
