What a wonderful experience we had here! Our first time in France and everything about this apartment was perfect. We easily walked to the old city almost every day and thoroughly enjoyed the shops and restaurants of Aix. We would recommend this property and its hosts to anyone. Although the garage was small we had no problem carefully getting our 5 passenger car into it. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!

My husband and I had just a wonderful stay at Haven last week. Perfect location- quick walk to Center. We did not have a car, walked everywhere. Overlooks a beautiful park. We enjoyed looking out the main window at the park and watching the sunsets. Our bed was comfy. Has two bathrooms and found helpful having a walk in shower. Definitely go to the markets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. A beautiful place. Look forward to returning.

The property has a large living room facing onto the park. There are multiple balconies, and the kitchen is well equipped. Both bedrooms are comfortable for 2 people. The area is quiet but is also only a 10-minute walk from the Cours Mirabeau in the centre of Aix. Communication with the owner was easy.

The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The location right across from the park was great and it was an easy walk into town for shopping and dining. Cleanliness very good. The beds were comfortable and in good shape. Our only complaints were that is was quite dim in the evenings with only a few lamps in the large living room and 1 in the bedroom. Also, a few maintenance issues which we promptly reported but were told would be dealt with after our departure. The most serious was a broken kitchen tap which would have been a bigger deal had we been doing more cooking. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful property in great Aix, France location

We stayed here for 6 nights and it was perfect for the 4 of us. Beds were comfy(1 king, 2 singles), location terrific. Easy walking to center of city. Great Boulangerie very close and a tiny pizza place where we ate our first night was so close and perfect for jet lagged travelers!!Nice kitchen and lots of places to sit. Highly recommend.

Wonderful, spacious apartment across from Parc Jourdain on a quiet street within easy walking distance of the old town, and a memorable stay. Had easy dedicated parking, AC, washing machine, and wi-fi - all big pluses. We stayed for 6 nights and did various day trips to Arles, Gordes, Roussillon, and Marseille. My son and I also hiked to the top of Mont Sainte Victoire and Le Croix de Provence.The experience was like being a local living in a nice apartment in Aix-en-Provence. You just slide into it.Loved the stay and thanks to our hostess Sophie.

1. Spacious apartment- truthful description on vrbo listing as being a 2-BR, 2-BA apartment on the 2nd European floor with no lift2. Free secure parking within the property a huge plus - I actually did not expect this amenity although I recall it was mentioned on listing; but it’s excellent to have and not worry about parking our rented car. 3.Living area faces an open, green space, super pleasant to be in4. Much natural light in living area (two sitting areas and formal dining area) make for a pleasant time during the day5. Small balconies in every room-wonderful6. Location - quiet, safe neighborhood just a shirt walk from the nicest residential area of Maxarine, where all the nice homes on quaint streets are7. Utile Supermarket, a boulangerie, a bodega and an apothecary are between apartment building and Mazarine, which is the beginning of of Aix’s historic center (from that angle anyway)8. The best restaurant we discovered - unfortunately only on oir last night there - in Aix is Le Brocherie (The Grill?) is on Rue de Mazarine, a really short walk from the property9. We visited a couple of very nice museums not far from the property, also in the historic center of Aix but close to Sophie's apartment - the very best one we happened to visit was in an annex, a former chapel, of Musee Granet (the Jean Planque Collection - brilliant)10. Sophie's co-host Najwa, our contact during our stay, was very nice and responsive to our text messages asking questions and help

Disliked: Check-in
Pros: Very spacious for 2 couples. Lovely, clean, quiet and bright- lots of windows and doors for outlook to green park & fresh air. Beautiful sunsets. Kitchen well-equipped. Tons of towels. Bathroom fixtures all new. Comfy beds. Great location. Photos are accurate. Cons: Second bathroom very small for 2 adults. Second bedroom windows do not open, fan or ac only, and not enough hanging space in closet there. A few items need attention: missing lightbulbs, no instructions for tv or dvd/cd (too bad, there’s lots of them there we would have liked to listen to/view), freezer in fridge completely iced - impossible to put anything in there. Most disappointing was check-in. We texted multiple times as instructed to host, confirmed arrival time, but no one there on arrival. No reply to texts or calls for over an hour. Oh no, was this all a scam? There’s no place to park, so had to keep driving around for over an hour. Finally a WhatsApp text from a third person! with instructions on how to enter, garage, keys etc. Stressful start, but once we settled in, it was fine.

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!

Haven of peace was a wonderful apartment for us. We stayed over two weeks at this quiet but centrally located apartment. It has two bedrooms and two full bathrooms, a huge living area, a big dining table where I was able to set up my computer and work. There are balconies off both bedrooms, one off the kitchen area with a drying line for laundry and a large terrace in front that faces Parc Jourdan. The location is spectacular. Three minutes walk up the road are a bakery, small Vival grocery store, pharmacy and a Lebanese take out restaurant. We walked about 7 minutes to Musee Granet for the Cezanne 2025 exhibition. We loved walking along the Rue D'Italie with its many shops and restaurants on the way to the central Cours Mirabeau. The apartment has air conditioning in the living room and both bedrooms, which we needed during our stay. Furniture is comfortable. The building is nice with just 8 units in total. There is no elevator and the unit is on the second floor. The included parking in the back of the building was a huge plus for us; it's a private, lockable one car garage rather than the usual multi-car parking garage. We would definitely stay here again if we need to be in Aix. Thank you Sophie and Najwa for a wonderful stay.

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!

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 !
