Everything I had hoped for
This lovely studio apartment was exactly as advertised and exactly what I needed. On arrival, I was greeted warmly by Catherine and Francois, who helped me get oriented, handed me a welcome gift, and left me blissfully on my own. They remained available my entire visit to follow up on any questions I had, or to advise on what to see (and the best way to do it). First rate hosts, first rate location in heart of the old city, minutes
walk to major features, and access to just wander the city at leisure. Just watching the Rhone flow by was a treat. When one of my paid day tours was cancelled, Catherine suggested Saint-Remy, an easy trip by public bus route. I would have missed this without advice, and it was one of the major highlights of my trip. A pleasant walk south took me to the Roman ruins of Glanum, along with the hospital where Van Gogh spent a year. Both were fascinating and beautifully presented, leaving time to wander Saint-Remy afterward before the return bus.
Sorry I forgot to open the window to start the "airing out" when I headed out at the end. I was distracted about facing a long travel day to Paris.
This Arles location and hosts are highly
recommended. I would stay there again without question, if ever given the opportunity.
