The Marseille people are very warm and helpful. Because we don’t speak French, and have issue understanding the email instructions, we have a lot problems finding the apartment. The local French people, from the corner pharmacy, a clerk in a food store, a young gentleman Alex from the next to the bar when I picked up keys, to that young lady in that #7 bar whom speaks English very well, they all gave me big help. Thank you very so much. The location of the apartment is great, right in the middle of a cluster of bars and restaurants, a lot of people dining and drinking but it is very quiet once in the apartment. It is a short walk to the old port water front, and about 20 minutes walk, or shall I say climbing to the Notre Dame church. The only complaint I have is there is no blanket or comforter, I asked the owner about that and got a reply saying it is because the hot weather, I assume this is the local customs.
