Good location
This property is about a 15 minute walk to the center of old town. We were able to park our car in the drive way and not drive until we were ready to leave which was a real plus. The bed in the back bedroom is more the size of a regular bed so smaller for 2 adults. Martine was there to check us into the house and allowed us to stay later in the check out.

The perfect home for our stay.
This property exceeded our expectations on many levels. Martine is the perfect host. She is very helpful and accommodating. We were looking for somewhere we could relax and chill out. This house was so comfortable and quiet yet only an easy 15 minutes stroll to the centre of town. The house has lots of old and interesting furniture and artifacts. We would definitely return.

Beautiful section of a house in proximity to the old Aix. Martine was most accomodating and the place even had two terraces, and a nice private parking spot. We were two couples and enjoyed our 5 days in the area, with this wonderful pied a terre. Hoping tocome back one of these days. Merci Martine

Charming, comfortable, character filled apartment with a lovely garden, all amenities and secure on site parking in a great neighbourhood in a quiet area. Easy walk into Aix and all the markets, shops, restaurants and all historic attractions. Martine makes your stay even more enjoyable by being such a kind, helpful, thoughtful and very warm person to know. Martine has the perfect knack of being always on hand should you need her but completely unobtrusive too. She was a great help retrieving a parcel the local post office lost and I doubt we would have got it back without her insistent help. We were very sad to leave and could have stayed there for another month or two if time had allowed. 20 stars.

Perfect location to explore Aix-en-provence
Martine is an awesome host. The place is just outside the busy area but very walkable: the town center, the market, and even bus stations are all within walking distance. The on-site parking is awesome, and all 3 rooms are nicely put together. I'll stay there again next time should I visit Aix again.

Wonderful stay with Martine Honorat
Martine's lovely home in Aix-en-Provence was perfect with a beautiful location; 3 very comfortable bedrooms, charming porch and terrace. Everything very clean and neat, with a nice kitchenn dishwasher and washing machine. Martine is very interesting and was extremely helpful. A good supermarket is nearby and it's an easy walk to Centreville and the bus plaza. We highly recommend staying with Martine!

Charm and Comfort
We chose this property for its location in a quiet neighborhood that is within walking distance of Aix’s famous markets. And for its reasonable rate. We got much more than we expected. We loved eating on the two terraces, one for morning, one for evening. The kitchen was tiny but well-equipped, and the nearby grocery store was a plus. We slept like babies on the beds and enjoyed hot showers in the modern bathroom. Appliances were easy to operate. Martine, who lives below, was helpful but not intrusive. Our stay was so pleasant and trouble-free that we are already talking about coming back for a longer stay.

Charming and quaint home within walking distance to everything!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and our host, Martine, was so lovely and helpful. There were three of us - all adults- in Aix-en-Provence to visit my daughter who is studying there. We could not have picked a nicer home and location. The house is charming and clean and wonderful and it is within a 5-10 walk of everything you may need- yet It is in a very nice quiet neighborhood. I would go back and highly recommend this property.

Awesome Provence location
Aix is a great place to experience Provence from and this house was perfect for our needs. A 10 minute walk from everything in Aix with parking and less than an hours drive to most of Provence, From Toulon, to Marseille, to Arles to Orange. The three bedrooms was great for a couple with 2 adult children. I would stay here again if I am ever back in Provence!

Character House: Home Away From Home
We stayed at Character House for two months and loved it! Madam H. was an absolutely terrific host. The apartment was very quiet, clean and great value. Two bedrooms are very spacious, the third one is smaller with one twin bed. The beds are very comfortable beds and the bedrooms have lots of storage. The kitchen is very well stocked for cooking and food preparation. There are two separate terraces, one with morning sun, the other with afternoon sun. There is a lot of comfortable living space. Madam H. was very helpful with local knowledge and even helped us to receive mail from Canada. The location is a short walk to the historical centre and quiet. A grocery store (Casino) is about 200 metres. We highly recommend this home. Robert G

Property is lovely. Close enough to walk into Aix, far away enough to not have to take a car through the narrow streets of it. Superb air con in the 2 double rooms. Everything you could possibly need in the apartment, especially in the kitchen. Mme Honorât was excellent throughout. Highly recommended.

Wonderful place to stay in Aix
This VRBO was so much better than a hotel. We were a family of 4 adults, and with 3 bedrooms, we had plenty of room. There was a full kitchen, one large bathroom (and enough hot water for 4 showers in a row), dining/living room, and front and back patios to enjoy the brilliant Aix sun any time of the day. The rental was the second floor of a house, and the hostess lived below. She greeted us exactly when she said she would, showed us around the place, gave us the keys, and went on her way. She was very nice and accommodating. Both the main town square and the supermarket are about a 10 minute walk from the property, so it's easy to stock up. Would definitely go back.

Wonderful place to base your stay in Provence
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.

Such a perfect experience
We loved it here! Plenty of room for all five of us (adults). A wonderful, beautiful, private apartment in the owner’s family home. We enjoyed coffee on the terrace in the morning and a quick (10 minute) walk to town to enjoy beautiful Aix during the day. The apartment has all modern amenities. Our host was delightful. She provided welcome refreshments and coffee and was available to help us with referrals to good restaurants and to arrange for a taxi for excursions. We would highly recommend this rental and we would love to return one day. Thank you so much, Martine, for everything.

My two month stay could not have been better. Martine's house is perfectly located, very well maintained, and expertly managed. Plus she is a terrific person. I'm an old hand at these VRBO rentals and, after two months here, I know I lucked out. Huge place, three bedrooms, two terraces, perfect privacy, a well equipped kitchen, comfortable arrangements and furniture, great bed, equipped for a dinner party, a three block walk to old town, a grocery, hospital, doctors and dentists close by, little nighttime noise - look no farther. Thank you Martine. I will be back.

Lovely home in the Sunny South.
The three bedroom house has high ceilings and is spacious with a lovely sunlit lounge and dining room, the windows having traditional shutters. The accommodation is on the first floor with stairs to the front terrace and front door, while at the rear there is another terrace where one can also take full advantage of the Provencal sunshine. There are outdoor tables and chairs and the house is surrounded by gardens and trees. Our hostess, Martine, gave us a warm welcome. She lives downstairs but we had all the privacy we wanted. The house is well equipped, with all the appliances as advertised, including fast internet. There are radiators in each room, so it is warm and comfortable. We were able to walk almost everywhere in Aix, including the markets and excellent nearby supermarket. Martine has provided a shopping trolley to bring back produce, so the car is not needed. There is one off-street car parking space, but the entrance gate is not wide. A great place to stay. Thoroughly recommended for couples and families. We would love to stay longer as Aix is a great place to explore.

We just spent a month in the apartment and loved it. It is well located, just 10 minutes walk from the centre of town, but in a quite street. The apartment is spacious with good size rooms and two balconies. It has all the facilities needed for a long or short stay and is very comfortable. Martine, the host, is very welcoming and helpful. She was happy to share her substantial local knowledge that was very useful. It was also very good to have secure off street parking close to the centre of Aix. Highly recommended.

Relaxing in Aix-en-Provence
My mother (74 years), my sister (44 years) and I (47 years) stayed in this property for one week in September and enjoyed every moment. The house is very lovely and spacious. There are two big terraces with nice views and we liked to eat our breakfast there, as well as having occasional drinks. The house is very nicely furnished, bathroom and kitchen are well equipped and clean. The mattresses in the bedrooms are of very good quality as well as linen, and we slept comfortably. The house is situated in a wealthy and quiet neighbourhood, a short walking distance from the old town and city center. We didn't have a car, and it was easy to move about without one. We enjoyed our time and recommend highly this house for people who want a beautiful and comfortable place to stay. The owner is kind and very helpful lady, and she makes you feel like you're a welcome guest in her home.
