Charming T2 in the heart of Marseille, between the Panier and the Old Port

The bathroom smelled horribly of sewage (not at check in, but only after the toilet had first been flushed). The owner’s response was subpar- telling us this was typical of the building pipes and telling us we needed to keep flushing the pipes and demeaningly telling us to remember to flush the toilet. He said to keep the window open. We had to keep pouring bleach into the pipes to try to contain the odor during our stay, but then we just smelled bleach and sewage. He owner was unimpressed with our concern. The first night we couldn’t shower due to the noxious odor and had to brush our teeth in the kitchen sink. We were afraid we would not be able to find another place to stay at the last minute and would not get our money back, as the owner seemed to think this was not a big deal. In addition, the main door lock to the apartment building was broken and duct-taped open, leaving the concern of safety. Pros: near the port, reasonable rooms and kitchen.

Great accommodations Lovely place, centrally located, accommodating host, very relaxed and comfortable experience.

Fantastic Location This is a clean well presented property with good facilities and super host. Beds are clean and comfortable as is the kitchen and bathroom. The host is very accomodating and communication is fantastic. Willing to help with advice in general about visting the area. The main area of the port is 5 min walk. Nice view out of the sitting room window. 3rd floor so nice fresh breeze when windows are open. Wifi is good and TV has usual apps. Nice clean towels provided.Double bed is good in main bed and teh sofa bed is perfect for one adult or 2 small kids.. Dont hesitate to book. Shops close by for stocking up.We stayed in late June 2023.
