My daughter studies in Aix, so she checked out the location before I booked. She wishes she lived there! It is near Hotel D’ville (city hall) and in the middle of everywhere we wanted to be—flower/ vegetable markets, close to many restaurants and shops. Easy walk to bus station for day trips and Marseilles airport. We felt very safe in the apartment and the neighborhood both day and night. The 28 WONDERFUL stone spiral steps up to the apt were a challenge with my big suitcase, but if this 60 year old woman can make it, you can too! Apt was perfect for my daughter and me. Bed very comfortable. Kitchen well equipped, nice bathroom. Many thanks to Marie Pierre and Samira who worked with me on check in time. I want to come back to Aix, and I want to stay here!!
