Very nice, comfortable house in a great location.
The outside look of this house isn't the prettiest, but don't be put off! Firstly, the location is ideal with all of admittedly small Aix at your doorstep while not being right in amongst the bars and restaurants, which can be noisy into the early hours. Right outside the property however, you'll find a nice brasserie that can be handy if you just want to pop out and chill.
We had a very friendly reception from the owner, who showed us around the three floors of the property as well as giving us some tips on what to do and where to go in Aix. As we arrived a little late, it was also nice to find a cold bottle of rose waiting in the fridge! Overall the house interior is simply, but tastefully, decorated and very clean. The whole place is air conditioned and tiled throughout.
The ground floor has a double bedroom with an ensuite as you enter the house followed by a staircase up to the 1st floor. The bedroom is spacious enough for a short stay and has storage. The ensuite has a shower and the usual fittings and fixtures. Perfect for a couple or a couple of kids.
Upstairs on the 1st floor you have a lounge/diner, utility room come WC and separate kitchen. The lounge is good for 4 or 5 at a push with cable TV, DVD and a good sized dining table. Not huge, but fine for most purposes. There is a small balcony, but you can't really sit on it. The utility room has a washing machine, toilet/sink and stores various cleaning materials. The kitchen is compact, but managed a small table and all the standard white goods (i.e. dishwasher, oven, gas hob, microwave and fridge with small freezer). All the other kit is generally plain and functional and more than adequate to prepare simple meals.
Taking the stairs up to the second floor reveals a master bedroom with pseudo adjoining bathroom and several storage cupboards with iron, board and drier. The bedroom is very spacious with a king bed and wardrobes. It has a large balcony with a four seater table outside. The bathroom is just off a small hallway and is a good size and has a bath with hand held shower fitting, sink, toilet and bidet. All in good condition with storage. A minor complaint is that showering can be awkward and you need to be careful not to soak the room!
I'd thoroughly recommend this property for a small family or a pair of couples. The bedrooms at the top and bottom of the house provide some privacy for parents or couples too!
