We spent nearly four weeks in this wonderful house in a perfect location, just a ten-minute walk from the center of the old town of Aix. Driving access was simple approaching from either side of Aix, although once you were there you could walk almost everywhere you wanted to go, even to a nearby grocery store. One of the least expensive gas stations in Aix is just two blocks away. The parking is a major plus as street parking, at least in this part of Aix, can be scarce and expensive. As other reviewers have noted, it takes care to drive through the gates into the parking space, but after a little practice we handled it easily with a Renault Captur.
The apartment had everything anyone could want for either a short or long stay. The two main bedrooms are large and have plenty of storage space, our bed was quite comfortable, the kitchen is well stocked with necessaries, and the bathroom has more than enough hot water for two showers. The internet was good. The washing machine was an added plus, with a large sturdy drying rack to set up either indoors or out on the terrace (if the wind is not blowing!). And the front and back terraces were both lovely places to have lunch or an evening aperitif depending on the direction of the sun or wind. Unquestionably the best aspect of all is the delightful host, Martine, who lives downstairs and is available to assist in any way but also gives you plenty of privacy. Thank you for everything Martine! We were very happy to stay here and would come back again in a heartbeat.
