Perfect place to stay & explore Marseille

This was a great light & spacious apartment, very clean & well appointed. Loved the mezzanine bedroom. Had the advantage of double glazing which was a must for us at night as it is a vibrant city into the small hours. The views of the square & the marina were amazing & it was a a great base to explore Marseille by foot & by boat. The host kept in touch & made the whole process of arriving & leaving very smooth. We will definitely be back to stay again.

Excellent location and home

My husband and 12 year old son enjoyed our one week stay in Marseille at this apartment. Yes, it is on the top floor requiring climbing up stairs at the end of the tiring day but well worth the accommodation. The air conditioning was very welcomed after the end of a long day. My son loved the loft area and claimed it as his room. The upstairs was definitely hotter but there was a fan to help with keeping it cool. My husband and I opted to the lower floor bedroom for temperature reasons. The apartment was very spacious and comfortable. The view is incredible. There were nearby eateries and markets. the home is well appointed and very comfortable. The bed was a bit more firm than preferred but still slept well. I would highly recommend but just be forewarned about the climb up the stairs. We would stay here again. Also the check in process was very smooth and Kenya was very communicative and easy to contact to update her on our arrival to Marseille. The check out process was very easy as well.

In the heart of Marseille Old Port

This is a nice property in a great location. I likely would have selected a different property for our stay in Marseille had I understood the nature of the vertical climb required to access the apartment: the 4+ flights of stairs that you have to scale to reach the front door are quite difficult (and we are physically fit!). I would also comment that the apartment floor plan is a bit unusual. The loft is also difficult to access (another steep ascent). I can't imagine that this would be a comfortable apartment stay for more than 2 guests. With that said, we had a nice stay - a number of very good restaurants within 50 meters of the front door!

Relaxed city trip

With its proximity to the "vieux port" and the metro, the flat is ideally located for exploring Marseille. Despite the hustle and bustle of the streets, we had relatively quiet nights as the windows isolate well. It was also pleasantly cool thanks to the air conditioning. The maisonette area can be a bit stuffy, but we were still able to sleep there. All in all, we had a lovely time.

A great find! We'd love to return..

We (2 adults and a teen) were extremely happy with this apartment, the photos may not do the place complete justice. It offers an amazing view and it has an amazing location (in addition to the obvious, la navette maritime 3 min walk from the building took us to L'Estaque (North, for kayaking) and to La Pointe Rouge and La Goude (South, for e-biking in the calanques) all in within another 5-10 minutes walk from the destination port. Totally unexpected and a treat in itself as we opted not to rent a car. Finally, the apartment itself was absolutely magical: in an old building with nice niches and the mezzanine that made our teen happy to take possession of. Another plus, it had everything, the kitchen was all equipped, an extra touch was the dryer! Yes, it works! Well, the touch... dryer for me/coffee machine for my husband. :) Grocery stores and restaurants practically just out of the building. And, I can go on: the communication with Marc was great, getting the keys easy! For us, the stairs too were amusing - great practice before hiking. Seriously, not for people with mobility or heart problems, and ... they could make you buy croissants for breakfast on your way up the evening before, ha ha totally not French, but we had a blast. BTW we are not in top shape despite all sporty things we claimed we did, surely we were not fit when we arrived, so if we could do it, you can too and the place is totally worth it!

Aufenthalt Marseille

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren Ja ich Habe für 4 Tage/Nächte die Wohnung von Marc bezogen. Ich habe bei diesem Objekt gute und schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht. Seit vielen Jahren habe ich weltweit solche Objekte bewohnt und nur einmal in den USA extrem Schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht, in Marseille habe ich früher schon solche Appartements gemietet und die Preis/Leistung war soweit ok. Das Positive an der Wohnung von Marc ist die hervorragende zentrale Lage, sowie die herrliche Aussicht. Die Wohnung ist relativ ruhig und gut besonnt. Die Wohnung ist interessant eingeteilt und grosszügig. Die Seite die mich enttäuscht hat ist, dass ich irgendwo gelesen habe, das es 4 Stockwerke bis zur Wohnung sind,das stimmt nicht, es sind mindestens 5 Stockwerke und für das oben gelegene zweite Zimmer sind es 6. Das ist gar viel ohne Liftanlage. Weiter missfiel mir die Ausstattung, das Badezimmer ist von der Einteilung und Materialwahl korrekt, aber die billigste aller Seifen beim Lavabo und kein Duschgel bei der Dusche, empfand ich bei dieser Preislage schon für sehr dürftig. Die Möbelierung und Ausstattung ist ohne Geschmack und Gefühl für angenehmes Wohnbehagen, einfach gesagt, sehr billig. Grundsätzlich wie bei der Küche ist alles vorhanden, es fehlen zwar Handtücher. Der Empfang war freundlich und bei einer kleinen Reklamation hat sich Frau Kenja bemüht das Problem zu lösen. Für mich stimmt die Preisleistung nicht mit dem Angebot, ich finde im Vergleich mit andern Anbietern von solchen Obje

Location Location Location

Absolutely the most perfect location ever. Minutes from everything and the restaurant options are endless. It was easy to shop around and drop off our finds back at the apartment to lighten our load and keep exploring. By the end of our stay we felt like locals. We were initially there for a concert at the Orange Velodrome, which also proved very easy to get to via the metro. The only note to mention is that it is on the 4eme Etage and there is not an elevator. Being I am the sort to always take the stairs, we weren't impacted much by the climb. If you are fit and travel light fear not - for this is your place. I will admit, I had some trouble getting my heavy suitcase down for our final ride to the airport, but that was my fault for all the amazing shopping. The owner and hosts are fabulous as well. Communicative, helpful and knowledgable. Thank you!

Excellent Apartment

My wife and I enjoyed our 2-week stay in Marc’s apartment. Although in our 70’s and with heavy luggage, we managed to climb the four flights of stairs (106 steps) on our arrival and, after a few days, almost got used to it. Air conditioning was real plus during the heat wave! Hard to beat the location.

Conference and Holiday in Marseille

We enjoyed this large comfortable apartment in the heart of Marseille. Despite its location it was very quiet. Bakeries, restaurants and shops are a short walk, as is the market in the Old Port. There is even a cool hardware store on the ground floor of the building. The apartment is on the 4th floor (5th floor if you are from North America) so it is best suited to people who are comfortable climbing 5 full sets of stairs.
