    Bedroom is small but the rest of the apartment is spacious.

    Amazing apartment in an excellent location. Host Nicholas met me at the train station and brought me to the very spacious apartment.

    The bed is quite small (a double bed only), with no room either side of the bed. This is the only downside of the apartment.

    Great location within easy walking distance of all the sites. The kitchen was really well stocked with everything you need and a had a large fridge and living area. The apartment was also quiet and you couldn’t hear any noise from outside. Communication with our host was very good. He met us and came with us to the apartment to unload our bags, then drove with us to the car park. At checkout, he drove us back to our car. He also provided a map and suggestions of where to eat and shop. Happy to recommend this apartment.

    I didn’t dislike anything.Just a suggestions from a tourist perspective,may be an idea to get a smart TV so you can watch shows with subtitles if you need some downtime.

    Great location-Nicolas was a great host and help.Very thorough with instructions on the apartment. Good wifi reception. Nicolas picked us up from the train station and dropped us back

    • Stayed 3 nights

    My only suggestion to the landlord is that he should consider installing ac units in the apartment. It was very hot during the days we were in Arles and there was only one fan in the apartment, that rendered the small bedroom virtually useless because we kept the fan in the living room. Another thing to note is that the apartment is on the first floor with no elevator.

    The location of the apartment is very central and the facilities are great. We were a short walk away from all the main touristic attractions of Arles. Nevertheless, the area is very quiet at night.

    I happened to visit during a warm summer time. Without AC it was a little uncomfortable. But I would rent again!

    The location is superb. A literal stones throw to the finest sites in the center of old town. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking a few meals. Laundry room was a plus. And Nickoli was pleasant, thoughtful, and easy to work with. He saved me time and expense by getting me to the train station

    Several pigeons are roosting in the area outside the bedroom window where neighbours are renovating. There is a bit of a smell so we kept the window closed. We used the fan to keep cool during the night and this was fine. The bathroom tap with an open-top design had a bit of unsightly limescale.

    Nicolas was an excellent host. He provided great tips about things to see in Arles, adapted our check-in and check-out times based on our trains, and drove us from and to the train station. The apartment is conveniently located in the middle of the pedestrian area of the old town (where only residents are able to drive). Tourist sites, restaurants, supermarkets, and other public transport are only a short walk away. The apartment was extremely spacious and modern with a well-equipped kitchen and even had a washing machine in the bathroom.

    The disadvantage of the middle of the old town location was the relatively remote municipal parking (10-15 min walk).

    The apartment was as described. Clean. Very well equipped. In the middle of the old town, close to practically all of the interesting sites. Free parking on a municipal site. Our host was very helpful.

    Ideal location, right in the center of the old town. The parking was a real bonus because it is impossible to park nearby. The owner has a pass to a central parking right next to the tourist office so it was perfect. The kitchen was super equipped, with food shops nearby. Two blocks from the van Gogh cafe.

    This place has exceeded my expectations! Location: it is right next to the Van Gogh foundation. I came here for the Arles photo festival and I found it super easy to get into exhibitions from this property which is a huge plus when you need to find exhibitions that are in different places of the town. Facility: it has all the equipments you need, such as dish washer, coffee maker, toaster, TV, laundry machine, plates, mugs etc. The apartment has large windows and the space of the living area is large and well decorated! The display of the apartment is exactly the same as shown in the pictures. Nicolas also prepared little touches such as mask, hand sanitizer which is very considerate. Host: Nicolas is a really nice host. He picked me up from the train station and drove me to the apartment. On the way, he pointed out the places that worth a visit. He recommended Luma exhibition which is newly built this year (and I absolutely loved it). He is punctual in term of check-out. He is one of the best hosts that I have came across! Overall, I would definitely stay at this apartment again if I come back to visit Arles (which I will)! And I would strongly recommend this apartment!

    Bed could only get out on one side. The shower was a step up so sometimes felt awkward getting out. But good shower.

    The location to everything we wanted yo see was so easy to get to. From the new tower to the roman museum. The location was easy to get to and from train station for our day trips after we learned to go to the place by river walk. The apartment was comfortable and the view out windows great. The kitchen was well equipped. The host was great and even picked us up at train station and provide the lift back at end of stay. Ease of using the washing machine.
