Quiet and cosy studio which has been furnished and decorated with great taste and care. Beautiful paintings, wonderful lighting and lamps, bookshelves with architecture and design books and a well equiped kitchen with freshly grinded coffee provided by the host. Don't miss out to visit La cité radieuse in case you're interested in architecture (book in advance for a guided tour).

A beautiful apartment, in a lovely historic building, very close to the old port. Fully equipped for a stay, comfortable and everything you need. If you a taking a taxi or uber, ask them to take you to Hotel de Ville, and walk up the steps opposite, a couple of doors up. Coming the other way requires the taxi to get permission through.

We loved our stay in Michel’s beautifully decorated studio. The space had such a great atmosphere and was whisper quiet at night. The location in La Panier was perfect for exploring the city. Michel was a fantastic host with perfect communication. He provided some great restaurant suggestions. I would highly recommend Michel’s studio.

Access for less able guests would be a challenge to many steps and steep gradient from the main road.

Tranquil oasis in the heart of Le Panier area and close to the old port of Marseille . Eclectic collection of art and decor made for a unique atmosphere. Roomy studio apartment with all the basic facilities needed. A pleasure to stay here and unwind.

We loved everything.

The apartment was very beautiful, calm and comfortable. It is also large! The location is perfect, right in the heart of the old, historic Le Panier district and very close to the old port of Marseille, all walking distance. We had excellent communication with Michel and also with Anne-Laure who he entrusted to show us to the apartment.

Access to the property by vehicle is restricted by local ordinance - so you must use a series of 33 steps to reach the property OR arrive when the area is open to traffic. Michel, the owner, is a wonderful host and helped us with our arrival and departure.

The main room is very large with a complete kitchenette. The bathroom has a large shower. Attention to details for visitors is amazing. Although compact, the kitchen contains anything you could need. There is a table with seating for 4 but space for 6+. The bed is at least king size and comfortable. The decor is antiques, collectibles, art…. There are even power converters for guests’ electronics. The location is also convenient to many of the historic buildings.

We didn’t mind the Church bells ringing out from 9am, some people might though.

The heritage and nice classic decor. Very lucky to stay in a spacious studio in the grounds of Convent steeped in history. The owner Michal was very accommodating and helpful with storing our luggage until we flew home.

It was hot until you turned on the fan because there is no air conditioning. However its not that bad because the fan is very good and it cools you down fast.

The owner is fantastic and lives next door. Very helpful. We didn’t have a working phone because we were visiting from out of the country and he helped us navigate over Whatsapp when we connected to Wifi. The Wifi there was good. The bedroom had a nice fan. The shower head was very nice. It’s located near the pier and a lot of historical sites. It was only a 30 minute walk to the Fancy Cathedral at the top of the hill. The Chateu d’If is near by too on an island. Very secure area. No need to worry at all. Your room is behind 3 locked doors. Two electronic locked doors to get into the clearing where your room is and your room door is massive with an inch thick deadbolt. I have never felt safer in a foreign country.

Its size and quaintness

Stayed in June 2023

Not so much as a dislike but more a note- the building has an old and amazing history to it but this also means it’s a bit musty, the rug and sheets while very clean need replacing. Saying that the room has every amenity you could ask for and for the location and price it’s fantastic!

The host was incredible, very reliable and super helpful. The location was great and the place has some beautiful history and a unique style to it. We felt comfortable and safe during our stay and would highly recommend Michels place!

A lovely old studio apartment; plenty of space, all the facilities we needed; comfortable bed; close to the Old Town; wonderful, obliging host. A real homely feel in an historic building - lots of character. Recommended.
