my husband and I had a beautiful stay in Marseille. This was a very spacious location, and central to everything! It was very clean and we especially appreciated the air conditioning during the heat wave!
Marseille is amazing. The locatiom of the condo could not be better. Just keep im mind that it is on 4th floor, which was fine for us, but i can see an issue for some. Pefect condo to enjoy Marseille and the Old Port area.
Loved the apartment and the location by the port. So much activity on the doorstep. The only downside is that there is no lift and it's on the top floor but it is an historic building so you have to take that into account. We'd still come back.

Apartment was exactly as pictured. Excellent location nigh in old port, easy walking distance to shops, train, and transportation. There was a grocery, boulangerie, and many restaurants right downstairs. The apartment had everything I needed during my stay. I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Nancy!
I am glad you've had a great time at my place... You are welcome anytime!
My family and I had an amazing visit to Marseille, and Marc's apartment was the perfect place to stay! The home was spacious, clean and centrally located to restaurants, groceries, attractions, the port, metro and bus lines. Marc and his local contracts were friendly and knowledgeable; the check in and out processes were easy and communication was timely. Honestly, we couldn't have picked a better place to stay!

Thank you so much Teresa!
I'm so glad everything went well for you and your family.
It was a real pleasure for us to welcome you.
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
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.

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.

Thank you so much Hayley! I am happy you enjoyed your stay.
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.

Thanks Matthias for your review! I am glad you've enjoyed your stay.
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!

Wonderful! I am glad you've had a great stay at my place. Thanks!
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!

Thank you Corisa! I am so glad you've had a great time at my place!
You have been a very friendly guest. I would definitely recommend you to any host.
I hope to see you in Marseille again!
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.

comfortable, bright, great location
So pleased as we walked in the door. Spacious, clean with beautiful open living area. Two separate bedrooms with comfortable queen size beds and good storage for clothing. Well appointed kitchen with all you need and a nice bathroom.
Great location within an easy walk to the metro, ferry and all the vieux port sights. Nice bakery a few doors down for a simple morning coffee and croissant as well as a small store for a quick grocery shop. Restaurants are plentiful just across the Cours Jean Ballard and many places to stop for an afternoon break and sit outside.
We would also enjoy a late afternoon break sitting in the comfortable living area with the sun shining in the open windows that lead to balconies. Nice view from this 4th floor duplex. That means 5 flights of stairs so would not work for someone who would have difficulty with this. For us it was not a problem and we enjoyed the view. Getting suitcases up and down upon arrival and departure was an effort but we were offered help.
We also appreciated the many guide books and maps that were in the duplex.
I would absolutely stay here again!
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!

Superb Apartment and Location
We enjoyed our stay in this apartment immensely. It would be impossible to find a more perfect location. It is steps away from the Vieux Port and is right in the center of a vibrant area of the old town of Marseille. There are literally hundreds of restaurants, other eating places, and bars within a few minutes walk. We were overwhelmed by the number of them and by the very excellent food. There is a grocery store and boulangerie right outside the apartment and a vast array of shops of every type in the immediate vicinity. The apartment is also a very short distance away from bus stops, the metro stop, and taxis. We didn't use public transportation very much, though, since the apartment is ideally situated for walking.
The apartment itself was perfect for us also. We were a group of three friends and used the sofa sleeper in addition to the two bedrooms. One bedroom is completely enclosed and private. The other is in the loft, which also has privacy but is more open to the lights and sounds from below. The comfortable sofa sleeper is in the living room. The layout is very convenient. The kitchen is in the front of the apartment near the front door, so is away from the sleeping areas in case someone wants to get up early and have coffee or have a late snack. We ate only breakfast in the apartment because of the incredible selection of restaurants in the area, but the kitchen is complete with everything needed for cooking.
The four flights of stairs were no problem at all. We took breaks at the landings and considered the walk up the stairs good exercise.
Marc was very friendly and always prompt in responding to our inquiries.
If you are looking for a great apartment in the center of the "real" Marseille, you cannot do better than this one! Very highly recommended!
