Very nicely situated near the metro station and amongst markets and restaurants. We particularly enjoyed eating breakfast on the balcony in the morning after going down the the market outside the apartment to get fresh fruit and baking. The AC unit was a lifesaver and helped us have a very restful stay.
This is a lovely quiet flat in a very cosmopolitan busy location, so it’s perfect for a short stay.
Very close to transport links, the old port and museums. Very vibrant market below but amazingly quiet in the flat.
Cool in the morning, very hot later in day during v hot weather - air conditioning great but noisy!
Our host is absolutely delightful, very kind, warm and welcoming.
The apartment is very nice, and in particular, really original and tasteful. Djamila is a great host - good communication, really friendly in person. The place, facing the couryard, is very peaceful and quiet - amazingly so given the very lively location. This location might not be for everyone, but hopefully if you are going to the center of Marseille you have some kind of idea of the unique and vibrant city you will experience; I loved being right in the middle of it. Finally: do yourself a favour and get some food round the corner at Chez Yassine :]
All two people need to discover central Marseille. As long as one leaves the building all the marvels of north African cuisine are set out on thstreet!
We took the airport shuttle bus to Gare St. Charles, and walked down to the apartment. Djamila did give good walking instructions, but we started by going down some steps that were not the ones she referred to ( and that are well known by anyone familiar with St. Charles) so we saw a bit more of Marseille than intended before locating our accoms. The apartment is located in the midst of a busy souq-like market area, which was fine with us, but might be a bit overwhelming to some. The front door to the building had the number 2 above it, a bit obscure at first with all the activity. It was an excellent base for our explorations, clean, quiet, comfortable and well-equipped. A very short walk to the old port, the Metro, and bus service. Lots of interesting restaurants nearby.

Disliked: Check-in, location
Pretty average
The location may be great for some but we didn't feel safe walking back there at night.
The apartment was safe just not the location for us.
What should have taken 30 minutes to get to from the airport we were still in the taxi over an hour later. He didn't to drop us off on the street. Our host did meet us. And we eventually got up 4 flights of stairs and into the apartment. It was tidy. Towels smelt of cigarettes as did the bedding. And the bed was super hard and the fan was super loud.
We spent a night there but found alternative accommodation.
Mitten im Marktgeschehen ein unscheinbarer Eingang. Vier Stockwerke höher erwartete uns eine stilvoll eingerichtete Wohnung mit persönlicher Note. Ruhiger Balkon Richtung Innenhof. Die Geräusche der Stadt im Hintergrund. Unkomplizierter Kontakt mit den Vermietern.
Un séjour agréable dans un appartement propre, à proximité du port et des musées. Les propriétaires sont réactifs et arrangeants pour les horaires et les bagages.
Un appartement dans un quartier très pittoresque, un détour de deux rues pour se retrouver sur l avenue touristique de la Canebière. Un appartement propre. Une hôte très réactive. Une piste d amélioration,un micro ondes.
Appartement très bien situé, une fois passée la porte d'entrée, le calme et le confort règnent dans l'appartement.
Nous avons apprécié énormément la petite terrasse sur laquelle nous prenions nos 3 repas.
Une chaine stéréo d'excellente qualité accompagnait nos soirées.
Les hôtes sont très agréables et d'une grande gentillesse.
Nous recommandons vivement cet appartement.
El apartamento de Djamila es muy acogedor y espacioso, además cuenta con una pequeña terraza ideal para cenar o desayunar al aire libre. Se agradece tener una cocina equipada, con básicos como aceite y sal. El apartamento cuenta con un ventilador grande y con un aire acondicionado portátil, aunque el piso es muy fresco y apenas nos fue necesario usarlos al tener una buena corriente de aire.
Además cuenta con una cuidada selección de libros y de CDs que se pueden escuchar en su aparato Bose (siempre respetando a los vecinos), aspecto que le da una personalidad especial.
Aunque el edificio no dispone de ascensor, las escaleras son fáciles de transitar.
La comunicación con Djamila fue excepcional, rápida y amable. Nos facilitó en todo momento la llegada y la salida del apartamento.
Muy recomendable.
Appartement très agréable, au calme, dans un quartier très vivant
L,appartement de Djamila est très agréable, dans un quartier très vivant et tout près du vieux port. Les pièces donnent sur la cour, c'est donc très calme.
Nous avons vécu de nombreux moments magnifiques au coeur historique de Marseille.
La propriétaire nous a accueilli amicalement et grâce à elle, nous avons regagné nos bagages perdus à l' aéroport.
La location est parfaitement immeublée, très confortable. Nous nous sommes sentis bien à l'aise.
