Old friends in Aix
The apartment was wonderfully cool in the hot weather and we had three double bedrooms which suited our needs. The apartment was in a central location in the old town of Aix-en Provence and really convenient for exploring a lovely city. The host was pleasant and helpful explaining how things worked and recommending restaurants and places to visit. He came promptly when we telephoned him.
We did not think the apartment was up to the standard expected for a summer rental because:
The owner's family clothes and belongings were cluttering the rooms.
The kitchen was not adequately equipped. There were no bowls nor jugs, and no sieves; the large cooking pot was not compatible with the induction hob.
The insect screens did not fit the windows and so were inadequate.
The apartment was not very clean; the garden was covered in dead leaves and the stone water feature was quarter full of stagnant water breeding mosquitos. It did not feel inviting.
The inside stairs were difficult and the mat in one bathroom very slippery. Both were likely to result in an accident.
