9.6/10 Exceptional! (208 reviews)
The room was spacious and very comfortable with top notch interior design. The service was also impeccable from the valet service to the check in orientation and the breaksfast buffet. Walking distance to center of Aix. Better than the Ritz.

8.2/10 Very Good! (43 reviews)
We had a great stay at Finsonius Studios!
We booked through Expedia and the host contacted straight away for the security deposit and asked for our arrival time. We paid the security deposit and the host provided a receipt. The host messaged on WhatsApp the day of check in and provided the key lockbox code.
As it was quite cold and raining, the host had left some lights on for us and the heater ☺️
It was a cosy little apartment with everything we needed! It was easy to find, in a great location and very quiet at night time!
