The owner was so helpful and communicated quickly! Unfortunately it was so intensely hot while we were in Marseille. I didn’t take that into consideration when I booked an apartment with no AC. We ended up leaving a day early because there was absolutely no breeze coming through the windows. I would definitely stay again, but when it was cooler! Otherwise the unit was really lovey and located in a great neighborhood.

Our reservation was from 7/12 to 7/14. Unfortunately, the access and conditions upon entering the building are dirty and unsafe, with an extremely strong smell of urine and dampness, resembling an abandoned building. The steps to the third floor where the apartment is located are unsafe. Definitely not recommended for seniors. The reason for this review is to warn of these conditions so that it doesn't be an unpleasant surprise for others like it was for us.We immediately left and had to book another place at the last minute. It's only fair to let people know about these unsafe and unsanitary conditions. The apartment looks like the photos without A/C, manageable, but sleeping in fear of insecurity and filth upon entering is unacceptable.Sophie was very respectful, trying to explain what Marseille is all about, but these conditions are unacceptable.Knowing in advance what you're paying for is the right thing to do. We would never have rented this place if we had known about these conditions. We wasted all our time and money.

Great vibe
This apartment had absolutely everything! Extensive cutlery, dishes, you name it. Plus, it had the coolest bohemian, and very French vibe I have ever seen in a VRBO rental. Lots of interesting Knick Knacks, and books. Really lovingly outfitted. Especially loved the little balcony.Host was super responsive. Highly recommend.

Amazing peaceful perfect stay
the property was so dreamy and perfect. it was a very Zen space with everything you need. The balcony was a very special place to spend time morning and evening. In such a good location. 20 mins walking to the old port and right next to several vibrant squares for food and bars.

Perfect place
We felt right at home. The apartment was well equipped and Sophie went above and beyond. Despite being very warm in Marseille and this being the top of the building, the little fan was enough to keep us comfortable - and we are from Alaska! It’s an older building with charm, which we embraced. The stairs worked off any eating or drinking we did. Good patisserie a couple blocks away at the square, and also a local brewery shop nearby.
We were in Marseille for the Rugby World Cup and will be back again to Sophie’s charming place in several weeks. It will be nice to come “home”.

Séjour à Marseille
Logement très agréable avec sa grande terrasse.Très bien équipé. Très bien situé. Le seul bémol est la récupération des clés qui se fait dans un bar, à 10min du Logement pas pratique avec la valise dans les ruelles de Marseille. A la remise des clefs j'ai du attendre le gérant car il n'y avait personne dans le bar, j'ai loupé mon train. Une boite à clefs serait plus appropriée. Hormis cela tout c'est bien passé.

Fijn verblijf in superleuke buurt
Het verblijf was aangenaam.. Het terras was heerlijk en het bed ook.
De inrichting vond ik wat vol met spullen van Sophie, zodat er weinig plek was voor onze eigen spullen. En ik miste een duidelijke instructie voor de elektrische kookplaat.
De locatie was super. Zeer levendig.
