apartment 2 P 10 minutes walk from the historic center Reviews

We so enjoyed our stay at Hélène's in Aix. The location was unbeatable: a quiet neighborhood, but so easy to walk to the heart of the old town! The apartment was small, but perfect size for us, and we particularly enjoyed the back terrace for our morning coffee. It was easy to park, easy to check in, and Hélène was quick to respond to all questions. We would stay again, if we were lucky enough to return to the region!

The property is convenient for two people to stay in. Close enough to walk to the old town and the grocery shop. A good base to visit rural villages etc.

Very comfortable small apartment in quiet backstreet 10 minutes walk from the old city. Highly recommended.

This property gave us the experience of being a resident in Aix-en-Provence. It was as though we had our own private and comfortable apartment there, attached to the owners house.

We had a pleasant stay. We soon learnt that what we thought was a microwave was in fact a small oven. Bed large and comfortable with excellent pillows.

We were so happy with our stay. The perfect place and location, 20-30 minute walk into the old center of town. Perfect! Helene is such a nice and easy going host. We had everything we needed. The apartment is very charming, and artistically decorated. We hope to return! Thank you, Helene.

Nice apartment: very clean and functional. It was a bit of a walk to the old town.

Lovely stay. Washing machine shared with hoSt

Helene was a wonderful host - she met us at check-in, offered us a drink and some suggestions about things to do in the area. The house is a 20-30 minute walk from pretty much everything in the city center which allowed us the perfect home base to explore Aix-en-Provence!

This is a lovely apartment and one could stay here for an extended period of time. The neighborhood is mostly residential and the owners live in an attached home which is lovely. There are some things a future renter should know. Number one, the house is down a dark driveway and is hidden by an automatic gate. I arrived at night without any advanced preview of this situation, the drive was pitch black and I had no warning of the electric gate - so I spent the first night in a hotel which my cab driver took me to. The owners picked me up at the hotel the next morning and took me to the apartment which was very nice of them. They need to update their directions to future renters - this is a big problem. Secondly, if you are a single female this is probably not the place to stay because it is very dark in the evenings and you would not feel safe walking here from the bus stop so you would have to take taxis home from the village center. If you are male or part of a couple - no problems. The walk to town is 15 minutes and very nice and there are 2 bus stops nearby. The buses are very easy to figure out. Last, but not least, the apartment was spotless, but, there is a smoker in the home and the cigarette smoke seeps into the apartment and is very noticeable. For French people who seem to all smoke, again, no problem, but if you do not like smoke I would not recommend this apartment. It was not bad enough to make my clothes smell, but it did bother my eyes at night. So, all in all an OK stay but I would not book here again if I was traveling alone. But, if you are looking for a place to stay for awhile and are part of a two-some, it would be more than fine.
