Rivages du Vieux Port Rouvière

First time in Marseille. Fine to have stayed at this apartment but probably won't again. I had to chase for the access instructions myself. Also annoying to have to go pick up the keys from Ibis (collection itself was quick), which is a 9-minute walk to the apartment. The fob worked but the 2 keys attached did not open any doors. Email instructions, while clear, were not entirely accurate - referring to going right when in fact I needed to find the apartment on the left. Bit of drama one morning as I forgot my phone inside the apartment and had locked myself out. Had keys on me but the keys couldn't actually open the door, and of course I couldn't remember the super-secure 9-digit digital code! Only eventually managed to get in but asking a neighbour who thankfully was able to call the apartment manager. They should have given me working manual keys but never did. Apartment itself was very clean. Lots of linen. Comfortable bedding in the bedroom as well as hidden under the sofa bed. Basic toiletries included. Washing machine worked. Heating was plenty sufficient. No dishwasher but not an issue as I did not cook much. (2 induction hob rings right against the wall which I didn't think was conducive to cooking anything more than the super basic, but fine for me this trip.) Overall it was okay. Location super convenient, but I'd prefer somewhere quieter, where people and traffic noise wouldn't be so loud and go on after hours. Also somewhere without people relieving themselves next to large bins right outside the building's front door. Somewhere more pleasant...

We had a small studio, the bed was a comfortable pull out sofa. Well renovated. Getting the key was very complicated. The apartment is well equipped for cooking. It needed hooks for hanging coats.

Improvement REQUIRED It just did not make sense that in order to get into the apartment, we had to go all the way to Ibis hotel to collect the key. This is totally unacceptable and doesn’t make sense especially for travellers who are not from France. It was inconvenient and we found it hard to actually navigate around with our luggage walking to go and collect the key from Ibis hotel and then make your way to the apartment. In addition, there is no response or communication, very poorly handled. PLEASE IMPROVE!!!

Great stay, good location. Amazing kitchen facilities, definitely recommend 👍

Very convenient location. Would be great if the host provides the addresses of some close-by parking options (I may have missed this information, but was very easy to find parking, behind the cinema building).

Exact what I paid for. A quiet and comfortable place to stay! Thank you
