Very comfortable stay.

Lovely apartment with fabulous views. We had 4 days in Marseille and this was a great base - near some excellent cafes and restaurants. Joanne met us when we arrived and made sure we had everything we needed , including a welcome bottle of wine!! Would definitely recommend.

Everything you need with a fantastic view!

The owner was very helpful and offered plenty of advice where to go etc. We would have given 5 stars but the steps, 84, to reach the apartment might be too much for some people. We are in our 50's and 60's and managed them will little difficulty. The area has many very good restaurants and there is usually some form of entertainment going on. The apartment is extremely comfortable and is well furnished. There are ample electric sockets and mirrors well placed in the apartment. The views from the terrace are fantastic, you can see the old port and sea in the background. To get into the port and old town takes around 15 minutes at a relaxing pace. Do take a boat trip to the islands, a lovely day out. We would def go back.

A beautiful view over the rooftops of Marseille. Good appartment for a city break

We stayed at Cour Julien for a three night break and thoroughly enjoyed it. The appartment was comfortable for the two of us although the climb up to the appartment is not for the faint hearted or unfit! The 84 steps up are worth it for the spectacular view of the traditional terracotta rooftops leading down to the Vieux Port and the Mediterranean out in the far distance. The area of Cour Julien is really charming with lots of small bars and restaurants and the local metro and bus routes mean that you can get to anywhere in Marseille easily and cheaply. The flat has most things you need but there is a local shop across the Espace Julien where you can stock up on basics. All in all this appartment is great for a couple of days and Marseille is a city that will leave a lasting impression you.

A Magic Carpet

We loved this light, clean and recently renovated flat. The unique feature is the terrace with its panoramic views of the old port and city. We felt as though we were on a magic carpet flying over the roof tops! Stepping out onto the street reveals the colourful pedestrianised area with shady trees, a fountain, musicians and numerous cafes. A good mini-market and boulangerie are just a minutes walk away. A Farmer's Market in the square is also a regular feature. The owner, Joanne, lives locally and couldn't have been more helpful. She has an excellent knowledge of Marseilles and helped us make the best of our stay. The photos and description accurately show the features of this delightful property. You will not regret staying here. Paul and Viv Burt, Mac Butler (England)

Tolle Wohnung mit fantastischer Aussicht

Die Ferienwohnung ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man zum Kochen und Wohlfühlen braucht. Das Highlight ist natürlich die Terrasse. Obwohl es Mitte August war, konnte man es bis ca. 14 Uhr dort draußen aushalten und die fantastische Aussicht genießen. Für die Zeit bis zum Sonnenuntergang gibt es eine Klimaanlage. Die Gastgeberin Joanne ist ausgesprochen hilfsbereit und für Fragen jederzeit ansprechbar.

Sehr gute Lage für einen Stadtaufenthalt

Die Fewo liegt mitten im Künstler/ Gaststättenviertel… am Platz kann man in verschiedenen Restaurants essen mit internationaler Küche. Fewo ist sehr für junge aufgeschlossene Leute geeignet. Man sollte gegen die verschiedenen Gerüche und Hausbemalungen offen sein. Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und ist gern für jeden Tip bereit. Die Fewo liegt im Obergeschoss,dies sollte unbedingt bei der Gepäckauswahl beachtet werden. Der Blick vom Balkon über die Altstadt ist traumhaft.

Amazing view with everything you need.

What an amazing view of the city, the old port and Notre Dame de la Garde! And what a perfect way to end the day on the balcony enjoying wine and cheese with a view. The photos show exactly what you get. The stairs to the apartment ensured our food and wine consumption was guilt free. The apartment itself is nicely appointed, thoughtfully equipped and comfortable for two with a fair amount of room. The bed is comfortable and everything worked as expected. Joanne’s little book of what to see and do was worth reading. We loved the walk through little Morocco! We were a little surprised by the graffiti at the train station and in the square. But once we realized it was the quartier des créateurs, the “art” made a lot of sense. The neighbourhood a bit Bohemian and certainly care free!

Great view, great location, great host: what more could you want?

We came to Marseille for over a week, for a conference, and wanted easy access to Parc Chanot for work but also to stay near the Vieux Port for everything else. We found the perfect combination, a short walk to the harbor and a stone’s throw from Metro station Notre Dame de Mont. This flat is exactly as described in the listing, except the photos do not fully capture the panoramic view of the heart of Marseille from the terrace. The view was always different, according to the light, and sunsets directly over the inner harbor were spectacular. The apartment had everything we needed, and host Joanne could not have been more friendly and accommodating. The scramble out a window to the terrace seemed a bit odd in anticipation but completely normal in context, and the access integrates effectively with the interior. Cours Julien is lively, day and night, and we enjoyed the energy of young adults embracing life in the cafes and markets that fill the long pedestrian space. On the other hand, we were glad to be four floors above it all (three in the metric system), and appreciated that the flat has good windows to seal out the noise when we wanted quiet. (Air conditioning makes closing up possible in September, though we enjoyed the breeze during the day.) We are semi-fit in our semi-60s, so for us the walk up was welcome after indulging in Provençal cuisine. But it might be a consideration for anyone less ambulatory. Internet was flawless (this was a work trip), and our only regret is that we could not stay longer to enjoy this perch above old Marseille. Thank you, Joanne!
