Really good space and price. Heating worked a treat and retrieving key was simple. Only negative really was the lack of proper duvet was a thick blanket instead.

Tiny shower, broken mattress, gritty location
Noone around to take my bags when arrived. It was before checkin but had to find the number and get a call back after they didn't answer (within 'available' hours). Once they phoned back they were accomodating but the person who met me didn't speak English as advertised, and didn't have correct change for tourist tax, so had to pay later.
The bed which seemed to be covered in a towel (how I imagine a brothel) and had a huge crater-like dip in the middle. Like an elephant had tried to sleep in it.
I tried that night to sleep on it and it was so uncomfortable it probably did damage to my back. They tried to fix it and was slightly better but still huge dip.
The shower was also tiny, and the head wouldn't hold direction onto me. It was near impossible to get in and wash myself. I didn't think i could wash my bottom because when i turned around I couldn't position the head with my other hand to wash shower gel off. The shower gel was in cheap plastic packets. I ended up buying my own.
After all this, I noticed it said to vacuum at the end of the stay and take the rubbish out. I was surprised at this because apparently it's cleaned and disinfected after stays, but expecting a resident to vacuum first made me very suspicious.
The wifi is pretty good, and there's decent wardrobe space.
The location can be pretty intimidating and gritty. I wouldn't recommend it for the feint of heart.

Tout est bien et personnel agréable. Studio bien conçu. Terrasse agréable. Seulement une très forte odeur de tabac froid nous a gênés le 1er jour.
Je retiens l'adresse. Je la conseille.

Les chambres sont très correctes avec tout le nécessaire ménager pour le prix. En revanche le matelas était très inconfortable pour un couchage à deux (il s'affaissait).

kleines 1 Zimmer appartement nicht zu empfehlen
Schlüsselübergabe erfolgte problemlos,
Zimmer ist sehr klein und stickig, es wurde nicht richtig geputzt, in den Ecken viel Dreck und Haare, die Dusche sehr klein und heruntergekommenen.
Es wird erwartet, vor Abreise selbst zu putzen.
Im allgemeinen kein sehr einladendes Zimmer
Lage zur Stadt ist gut

3 star apartment that feels like a 2
The apartment is located in an OK area, probably looks worse than it is as we’ve had no problems coming in and out even overnight and even left a scooter outside one night without any problem. We had a late check in made possible by getting the keys out from the letterbox. We managed to find the apartment on the 3rd floor (no lift) with very tiny numbers written at the top of the door. The apartment itself is tiny and looks like an office with grey walls and ceiling. There was a wardrobe on the left with some space for clothes but no cleaning utensils like a broom. The double bed was to the right and there were holes in the bed sheets. I take pride in myself of being able to sleep almost anywhere but I had the worst nights of my life in this bed, but at least there were no bed bugs. There was a shaky table in front on the left with some foldable uncomfortably chairs available. Also a desk chair probably as uncomfortable if not more than the foldable chairs. There was also a tiny foldable table in front of the bed where we had our meals. The kitchen was tiny an hob, no oven or fan, some utensils and cookware but no mugs. There was a water boiler, a filtered coffee machine and a toaster. There was a tiny fridge with a not very functional freezer. There was some dishwasher but no salt or pepper (there were empty pots). We had only 2 towels each and a carpet. The washing machine is shared and there’s no powder/liquid. There is a shared drying machine. There was no service.
A charming bungalow in the middle of Marseille. Everything what you need for budget holidays and garden with tables and benches. Shower cabin indeed bit too small but you will not walk dirty around:)) Greetings for Antoinette & Gilles.
Beautiful oasis backyard patio area. I enjoyed the complimentary washing machine. No air-conditioning but a real nice upright fan alleviated the "canicule" heatwave going on. Good wi-fi, TV, fridge, cooking top/sink. However, the tel contact given on Orbitz conf page was WRONG. Luckily, tel contact was given beside the indescript front door. NO front desk, you have to telephone for somebody.Mini U,,bus line 81, boulangerie/pizza, grocery, night/day alimentaire within 5 min walk uphill.

The property was ok the gates in the window made it incredibly dark. The picture in the photos is the back of the property not the front, this was very miss leading and made it difficult to find the property. The location was not what I expected and felt very run down and not safe. However the property was clean and if you wanted to cook there was a kitchen to do so (but good luck finding your ingredients, there are no shops near by).
