We stayed here for 6 nights and it was perfect for the 4 of us. Beds were comfy(1 king, 2 singles), location terrific. Easy walking to center of city. Great Boulangerie very close and a tiny pizza place where we ate our first night was so close and perfect for jet lagged travelers!!Nice kitchen and lots of places to sit. Highly recommend.
The space was large and comfortable. The local stores were convenient. The walk into town was easy. The host was responsive. The place worked very well for us.
The property was exactly as advertised. It was within easy walking distance of downtown areas and points of interest. There was a lovely bakery and a high end restaurant within a very close distance.
Host was attentive and we were glad to have on-site parking and security.
thank you Sophie and Najwa
The flat is as good as advertised, a spacious, beautifully equipped apartment with balconies all around, and a beautiful view of the Parc Jourdan. Time at the playground, meeting locals, was particularly delightful for the 5-year old among us. Despite a withering heat wave, the flat stayed cool with excellent AC, and the walk to the city center, just a few minutes away, was pleasant. Good value and great amenities. Would stay there again!
Great property for 2 couples . Nice and close to old town but far enough out with lovely view over park to get away from town hustle . Easy walk to train station. All cooking utensils to make great home meals after visiting local markets . Highly recommend the property
Sophie was a great host. Despite challenges with bathroom timing she was very communicative, responsive, and accommodating.
We loved the place- so sunny, and the location was superb - overlooking park and 10 min walk to just about everything. The place was very well stocked - kitchen, towels, etc.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sophie’s place.
Only suggestion - put that beautiful rug shown in the photos back in to warm it up. The photos really sold it and that rug helped make the room come alive.
We definitely recommend this place for travelers to Aix!
Beautiful 2 bedroom apartment. For Europe, this apartment is like a penthouse. Very spacious. Most comforts of home. Close to a wonderful bakery and small market. 10 - 15 minute walk to center of town. Once rental car was parked in very tight garage, it stayed there until we left. You can walk everywhere or there is a bus line in front. Nolvin was a great support with advice and suggestions. ❤️
We had a week in the apartment in August. Check in was very easy and we were met by Nolven who was very friendly and gave us a tour of the apartment. There were some confusing instructions about the door locks on the back of the door, but Nolven advised that they were in the process of being updated.
The apartment itself is spacious and comfortable, with everything you would need for a short stay. It was very hot when we were there and we were particularly glad for the electric blinds and airconditioning which shielded us from the worst of the heat and made it a welcome place to return to at then of the day.
It is in a quiet area about 10 minutes walk from the centre of the city and Aix is a great place to use as a base to explore surrounding areas.
Unfortunately the boulangerie around the corner was closed for August, but we found a fantastic alternative about 10 minutes walk away, Boulangerie Hat's Aix.
We would recommend this apartment to those wanting to explore Aix and its surrounds.

Wanted to love it
We were met at the apartment by the owner’s partner’s assistant.
She was friendly and gave us a tour of the apartment. It was spacious and filled with light during the day.
About 10 minutes after she left I noticed a substantial leak under the master bedroom sink .
There was a small glass bowl that had been put there to remedy the leak but by our arrival it had served no purpose.
I got in touch with our contact who let us in and she made her way back to us the following evening. She said she need to get a plumber and shut the water to the washing machine off.
We were no longer able do laundry without disrupting the leak. We had purchased detergent and were looking forward to doing wash after 4 days in Paris.
In the meantime I had let Sophia, the owner ,know that there was a leak and that apartment was not cleaned well.
A dirty coffee maker , rug not vacuumed and crumbs on the dining room table .
She apologized.
The rest of our stay was uncomfortable, not knowing what was really properly cleaned. The blankets in storage were dirty, lamps not working and the first mug I pulled from the cupboard was dirty with coffee stains ( the kind that clean off)
The property needs more attention and a deep clean. Good location and lots of potential.
Our group of 4 friends stayed at this property for 1 week. Very good location. The parking spot was locked, with gated access. We had a Toyota Corolla and it just fit.
The apartment itself had a large common area facing the Parc Jourdan with 3 french doors opening unto a balcony. We kept the ice bucket in the shade out on the balcony.
The apartment, while flooded with light during the day, had dim illumination in the evening hours- many floorlamps. This gave the apartment a wonderful evening ambiance. The over-the-range light switch was broken, but by inserting a key into the slot and manually sliding the moving part inside, it was possible to turn the light on and off.
The dryer is an evaporation dryer. The dryer door requires encouragement to stay closed - prop the door shut with the laundry hamper set on a towel on the floor to anchor it. The washing machine worked well & smelled clean. The water pressure in the showers was good. Hot water - no shortage. Radiator heat. Remember to open the bath window to help control the post- shower humidity as there is some paint peeling in the baths. Some caning on the dining chairs was broken. The apartment was clean, the beds comfy. The second bedroom was made up with two twins. The kitchen had plenty of plates, dishes, champagne flutes, wine glasses and cheese knives etc. The lower kitchen cabinets smell of cooking oil that has not been cleaned - a bit rancid. Perhaps a deep clean there could be arranged :) I would rent again👍
The apartment is in a great location, an easy walk into the city centre. The apartment is clean and spacious plus has the benefit of very good air conditioning. We enjoyed our stay immensely.
A pleasant and convenient neighbourhood. The apartment was charming. spacious and ideal for two couples. Enjoyed the outlook across the road to the park. A perfect base from which to enjoy the beautiful city of Aix en Provence.
Property was as described, in a great location. Garage is a bit tight if you have a large car. Aix is a lovely place for a short stay, the arts were great.
What a wonderful experience we had here! Our first time in France and everything about this apartment was perfect. We easily walked to the old city almost every day and thoroughly enjoyed the shops and restaurants of Aix. We would recommend this property and its hosts to anyone. Although the garage was small we had no problem carefully getting our 5 passenger car into it. The hosts were wonderful and very responsive. We’re already looking forward to our next visit!
The location of this apartment was ideal, close to city centre and the markets. The air conditioning was wonderful as it was very hot when we were visiting. The apartment has a parking space for a small car. All and all a very nice place.
We enjoyed our stay, roomy pleasant and quiet apartment, close to central Aix, would recommend it to others

This is a return visit to what we consider our place in Aix! We love the location, size of condo, proximity to the park, and the lovely terrace. The parking garage is a bonus. The kitchen is well stocked and the AC works nicely. Some of the furnishings are a bit dated, but overall comfortable.
My husband and I had just a wonderful stay at Haven last week. Perfect location- quick walk to Center. We did not have a car, walked everywhere. Overlooks a beautiful park. We enjoyed looking out the main window at the park and watching the sunsets. Our bed was comfy. Has two bathrooms and found helpful having a walk in shower. Definitely go to the markets on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. A beautiful place. Look forward to returning.
The property has a large living room facing onto the park. There are multiple balconies, and the kitchen is well equipped. Both bedrooms are comfortable for 2 people. The area is quiet but is also only a 10-minute walk from the Cours Mirabeau in the centre of Aix. Communication with the owner was easy.
Wonderful, spacious apartment across from Parc Jourdain on a quiet street within easy walking distance of the old town, and a memorable stay. Had easy dedicated parking, AC, washing machine, and wi-fi - all big pluses. We stayed for 6 nights and did various day trips to Arles, Gordes, Roussillon, and Marseille. My son and I also hiked to the top of Mont Sainte Victoire and Le Croix de Provence.The experience was like being a local living in a nice apartment in Aix-en-Provence. You just slide into it.Loved the stay and thanks to our hostess Sophie.
The apartment is spacious and comfortable. The location right across from the park was great and it was an easy walk into town for shopping and dining. Cleanliness very good. The beds were comfortable and in good shape. Our only complaints were that is was quite dim in the evenings with only a few lamps in the large living room and 1 in the bedroom. Also, a few maintenance issues which we promptly reported but were told would be dealt with after our departure. The most serious was a broken kitchen tap which would have been a bigger deal had we been doing more cooking. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great apartment! Great area!
Although we were rushed by Najwa as she had another person to check in, we managed to figure most things out.
We missed her daughter’s door ring as we didn’t know how to use the phone, but no worries!
We loved the apartment and hated to leave after 2 weeks!
If we return to Aix, we would definitely stay here!
