Appartement de Charme

It was a bit of a puzzle to get into the home But, that was the only hiccup Once it was figured out, getting in and out was easy. A lot of space and wonderful showers. House was very clean and felt like home. Outside sitting space was well shaded and clean. Very easy walk to a lot of shopping and restaurants

The location in the walled city is excellent and the communtcation to get the keys was simple. The apartment is lower level and quite moldy. It was clean, but needed a deep cleaning, sticky tables, old items in kitchen refrig and cabinets. The owner had many personal items left around, a tie on an eisle, clothes in the closet, bathroom drawers filled with items; which made it feel like i was crashing at a freinds house, not renting an apt. Not to my liking. The location was the saving grace.

My ten days in Aix were wonderful from start to finish. The apartment is perfect--just rustic enough to be interesting with all the right updates (wonderful bathrooms). And, the location is perfect, walking distance to everything I wanted to see. Jean Pierre is a very responsive host and we communicated often--thanks to Google Translate--he in French, me in English. I hated to leave. A caution, however, for those with mobility issues. Aix is hilly and the apartment is on a hill and a very narrow street. The taxi drops off and picks up a block away and there are stairs down to the main level and up to the extra bedroom.

The location is excellent. Mostly clean but some cups had weeks of mold. Probably just an oversight. The wif-fi code had been partially erased. One toilet had an electric flush device which had broken off and fallen down the back. It took several and repeated emails to locate. The host seems like a nice guy, a bit abrupt in his correspondence and often very late.
