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!

Exploring Rosé
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👍

Great location but needs repair
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.

Great apartment in convenient location
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.

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. ❤️

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!

Wonderful visit to Provence
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.

Sophie's bright and roomy apartment was wonderful! We found it to be clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. The location is ideal - quiet, yet a short walk from everything.

A perfect apartment in Provence
This (quite large) apartment was perfect for our family of two adults and two children (8 and 12). We stayed in this neighbourhood 5 years ago for a month, and have been wanting to return, and so happy we did. Sophie's apartment is perfect - large, clean, well equipped, and directly across the street from Parc Jourdan, the central green space of Aix attached to the university. A great boulangerie/patisserie is a 5 minute walk, and the Aix city centre is an easy 10-15min walk away. We walked the city for hours, including up to Paul Cezanne's Atelier, shopped the vegetable market at Place Rechelme, and back to the apartment for great dinners of fresh veg, cheese, baugettes, and wine of course. A fine reminder of the civility of cafe culture at a walking pace. Sophie was a very communicative and welcoming host, and her co-host Zohra was there to greet us and show us the facility. After we had left and arrived in Paris, my wife discovered she had left some important papers at the apartment. Zohra retrieved them and put them into the mail to Canada for us. Thank you! I highly recommend this apartment, and we will stay there again on our next trip to Aix - hopefully sooner than 5 years from now!
