properly clean; excellent location for Vieux Port & Panier, bus lines, central
Patricia responded quickly to my initial enquiry and a week before my arrival date messaged me which was very reassuring and professional compared to other hosts. Patricia was away from Marseille on our arrival date and arranged for her friend, Jeanne, to meet us for check-in. I greatly appreciated meeting someone at a easy-to-find place close to the apartment who showed us where the apartment was. This is much better than struggling to find an address after a tiring journey. The apartment was 100% clean ( I am myself a host with high standards). A washing machine and proper oven and hob was important (we stayed 6 nights only a small rucksack; I have a gluten-free diet (coeliac).We next stayed in a hotel in Paris and greatly missed the kitchen and extra space of an apartment. We needed to print some rail tickets:Jeanne very kindly printed them.In reviews for other apartments I had read about personal safety (vehicle damage/ phones etc stolen in the streets) but Patricia had reassured me and we never felt unsafe. Excellent value transport network: E15.5 for week's pass on buses, metro,trams & on ferry shuttles to L'Estaque etc. (Take passport photos with you; buy at RTP offices around towns/metros - worth it if only a couple of days; ferry not incl on shorter passes). The transport app is great; apartment so conveniently located. Excellent home made beef/chicken/vegetarian? burger restaurant at bottom of steps near apartment GLUTEN FREE rolls available!!
