This apartment is in a great location , one street back from the Vieux Port . It's located amongst a number of restaurants and bars (including a few "British" pubs - and all the very late night noise associated with them)
Valerie is an excellent host being easy to communicate with and helpful over check in time etc.
The apartment itself is , as per the description, very retro and being (I suspect) Valerie's home , full of interesting items. It is all open plan with no doors between each of the areas. There is a bedroom area with a double bed and an (apparently) very comfortable bed settee in the living area
However it is on the top floor and has over 120 steps to reach the apartment. There is no lift (too be expected) but in the heat (35 degrees when we were there) and with luggage you need to bear this in mind. Also, whilst there are air conditioning units, these struggled during our stay (again it was exceptionally hot) and as there are no dividing doors, need to cool the whole apartment. Also as someone else mentioned it is a very small shower cubicle with exceptionally hot water (so be careful)
Overall it suited our needs and was very reasonably priced for central Marseille . I'm happy to recommend it (subject to the comments above which are not criticisms of Valerie's apartment, merely consequences of it being a traditional apartment)
