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.
My friend stayed 2 weeks, in which we did a lot jf travelling around Aix. She returned home and I stayed 2 weeks longer. Martine has always been the modt wonderful host, from day 1. Her property is lovely. And I will return time
This property exceeded our expectations on many levels. Martine is the perfect host. She is very helpful and accommodating. We were looking for somewhere we could relax and chill out. This house was so comfortable and quiet yet only an easy 15 minutes stroll to the centre of town. The house has lots of old and interesting furniture and artifacts. We would definitely return.
Martine is an awesome host. The place is just outside the busy area but very walkable: the town center, the market, and even bus stations are all within walking distance. The on-site parking is awesome, and all 3 rooms are nicely put together. I'll stay there again next time should I visit Aix again.
Martine met us when we arrived and gave us a tour of the property. She was responsive when we had questions. Property is comfortable and very near the center of town.
Martine's lovely home in Aix-en-Provence was perfect with a beautiful location; 3 very comfortable bedrooms, charming porch and terrace. Everything very clean and neat, with a nice kitchenn dishwasher and washing machine. Martine is very interesting and was extremely helpful. A good supermarket is nearby and it's an easy walk to Centreville and the bus plaza. We highly recommend staying with Martine!
We chose this property for its location in a quiet neighborhood that is within walking distance of Aix’s famous markets. And for its reasonable rate. We got much more than we expected. We loved eating on the two terraces, one for morning, one for evening. The kitchen was tiny but well-equipped, and the nearby grocery store was a plus. We slept like babies on the beds and enjoyed hot showers in the modern bathroom. Appliances were easy to operate. Martine, who lives below, was helpful but not intrusive. Our stay was so pleasant and trouble-free that we are already talking about coming back for a longer stay.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our host, Martine, was so lovely and helpful. There were three of us - all adults- in Aix-en-Provence to visit my daughter who is studying there. We could not have picked a nicer home and location. The house is charming and clean and wonderful and it is within a 5-10 walk of everything you may need- yet It is in a very nice quiet neighborhood. I would go back and highly recommend this property.
Aix is a great place to experience Provence from and this house was perfect for our needs. A 10 minute walk from everything in Aix with parking and less than an hours drive to most of Provence, From Toulon, to Marseille, to Arles to Orange. The three bedrooms was great for a couple with 2 adult children. I would stay here again if I am ever back in Provence!
We stayed for 4 nights to explore the Provence region. Parking was easy and walk to town for the Saturday market was great. Martine was really helpful and left lots of information and tips. The flat was large and kitchen well equipped although we ate out most days
