Aix-en-Provence Stay

The property was exactly as advertised. It was within easy walking distance of downtown areas and points of interest. There was a lovely bakery and a high end restaurant within a very close distance. Host was attentive and we were glad to have on-site parking and security. thank you Sophie and Najwa

Peaceful on the Park

The flat is as good as advertised, a spacious, beautifully equipped apartment with balconies all around, and a beautiful view of the Parc Jourdan. Time at the playground, meeting locals, was particularly delightful for the 5-year old among us. Despite a withering heat wave, the flat stayed cool with excellent AC, and the walk to the city center, just a few minutes away, was pleasant. Good value and great amenities. Would stay there again!

Great apartment! Great area!

Although we were rushed by Najwa as she had another person to check in, we managed to figure most things out. We missed her daughter’s door ring as we didn’t know how to use the phone, but no worries! We loved the apartment and hated to leave after 2 weeks! If we return to Aix, we would definitely stay here!

Aix

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!

The apartment was spacious and comfortable, the kitchen was well supplied, the front terrace was very nice, the bathrooms were adequate. The location was good; it’s a 15-20 minute walk to most places. Sophie was very prompt in answering emails and thorough with her information.

Delightful Provencal Apartment

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. Our first two weeks were so pleasant, then the pandemic arrived in France. Sophie was so helpful in advising us and encouraging us when we had difficulties leaving the country. We look forward to returning !

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.

Glorious

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. ❤️

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.

Wonderful place to stay in Aix-en-Provence!

Sophie’s flat was the perfect home base for our time in Provence. Prior to our arrival, Sophie was incredibly responsive over email. Her friend, Sylvie, met us at the flat to hand off the keys and show us around. They thoughtfully provided bread, butter, milk, orange juice & coffee for our first breakfast. If you want to cook some of your own meals, the kitchen is stocked with all of the supplies and utensils you will need. There is a lovely patisserie/boulangerie a short walk from the flat where we bought bread every morning. In the flat, you will find a washing mashine & dryer - so no need to pack too much. We also appreciated the secure garage parking included. The space is clean, bright and relaxing. We very much enjoyed our stay at Sophie’s flat and would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to Aix.

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.

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!

A wonderful place to stay in Aix-en-Provence

I can’t say enough good things about our stay here. I came to Aix to visit my daughter who is a student at Sciences Po. Sophie was great to work with throughout the planning of my trip. I had to change the check-out date due to my airline changing the return flight and she was very flexible and understanding. Sophie’s co-host Sylvie met us at the apartment and showed us around. There was milk, juice, coffee and bread in the kitchen for the next day’s breakfast. That was such a nice gesture especially after a long day of international travel. Great location overlooking the park and a short walk to the Cours Mirabeau and wonderful outdoor markets. The apartment is spacious and has a very well-equipped kitchen. There is a hair dryer, an iron as well as a dishwasher and a clothes washer and dryer. The beds are very comfortable and there’s plenty of space to unpack and hang up your clothes. We found Aix very vibrant and charming and would love to visit again. There are plentiful transportation options available should you decide to venture outside of the city. I hope you will love Aix as much as we did!

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.

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👍
