House with character

First of all, the host greeted us with a smile despite our late arrival due to a flight delay in Marseille. She was instantly friendly and walked us through the house to make sure we would be fine for the night. The house is called House with Character, but it can also be called House with Charm. We loved the place with its high ceilings, blue shuttered windows, welcoming dining room, and comfortable furniture, and coming home to this place every evening added something special to the Provencal experience. The beds were also very comfortable.While we booked for 5 of us, there were 4 in the end, and we felt the place was roomy. It was a quick, easy walk into the center of town and a short Uber ride to Château La Coste, where we visited twice. The bus station where we met our daughter was also a short walk from this home. We loved the markets, cafes, and museums in Aix- all nearby.Martine, the host, was lovely, the house charming, and Aix was fun. I would love to repeat the experience and stay here again one day.

The property was clean, comfortable, safe and convenient. Nicely decorated. Communication with host was excellent. Kitchen had all necessary equipment. Outside table in a sunny location was available which we used. Secure off street parking. Excellent property and host. We would definitely recommend this property and host.

This lovely home was the best rental in our many years of travel. The apartment is even better than the listing photos show - very bright, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware and the bathroom is large. There are two sunny terraces. It’s an easy 10 minute walk to town, and a local supermarket within a 5 minute walk. The owner Martine is very welcoming, helpful and accommodating, and gave us lots of great advice about Aix and also for other areas in the region. We hope to return to stay at Martine’s lovely home again and highly recommend it to any travellers who enjoy feeling like they are staying in a real home.

This house was well located within an easy walk to old Aix. It is charming with beautiful antiques and classic French style. The parking spot for our rental car was also very convenient as we used Aix as our base for exploring the area. But some of the textiles and mattresses need to be replaced as they were uncomfortable, and some items were stained. The accommodation could have been cleaner and we would have preferred newer bed linens / towels -- what we got was old and rough. Also, we are not used to having previously used food within the unit -- the cupboard in the kitchen really needs to be cleaned out and the cleaning supplies put away. In addition, the home needs professional cleaning, particularly in the bathroom, and we would have loved an adequate amount of toilet paper -- we got two rolls for our week rental. Lastly, the unit is not fully air conditioned (only the master bedroom is) and it was very uncomfortable during August; we appreciated the fans though and we were able to get some sleep. Martine was super friendly and helpful in providing suggestions for our stay, and she gave us maps and resources that really helped us during our week there. I hope the suggestions are helpful to make the rental better for future guests.
