"We're packing up and getting ready for our departure tomorrow morning. The four of us have had an absolutely wonderful time here and your apartment is perfect. I've enjoyed your terrace/garden very much, and I've learned to get up early every morning (while it's still cool) and have breakfast outside. Also a good time to visit the wonderful local markets and the boulangerie. We're usually gone by later afternoon - there's so much to do and see, both here and in the surrounding area (the festival at Avignon was so much fun!). I make dinner around 8 or 9 when we get back, then it's more reading or a game of cards, and then off to bed. The days have gone by much too quickly! All your instructions for the appliances, the cookbooks, the guest book and the box of pamphlets and maps helped us to quickly adapt to the apartment and feel like we lived here. Your neighbors are quiet and polite. We all loved your beds and got a terrific night’s sleep each night. The washing machine and dishwasher were great boons to our existence; we found all the linens we needed in your generously stocked linen closet in the living room. Having the internet and the free calling to check on my parents back home in Canada were very convenient. We’re hoping that we'll be able to come back for another vacation here one day!" "The four of us are now back from our travels and I placed the key to your apartment in Aix in the mail to you yesterday. We very much enjoyed our travels in Spain and France and found your apartment a wonderful way to visit Aix and Provence in general. The apartment is located perfectly in Aix. We spent two full days in Aix, visiting the markets, taking the “petit train”, visiting the Granet Museum, and just generally enjoying the city, cafes, boulangeries and patisseries, etc. We had our breakfasts and often our evening meal (baguettes, cheese, fruit and wine) on your wonderful patio. The apartment was also a great location from which to take day trips out into other areas of Provence. During our stay we visited Cassis, Saint-Remy-de-Provence, Les Baux-de-Provence, Avignon, Pont du Gard, Apt, Rousillon, Gordes, Bonneaux, Menerbes, Oppede-le-Vieux --- a good mix of cities, sea ports as well as small Provence villages. We dead headed the petunias, watered the plants while we were there and left your apartment in good order. Thank you for offering it for our enjoyment." "We had a wonderful two weeks in Provence, thanks in large part to your place in Aix and the house in Bar-sur-Loup. This was our second visit to each place, and this time we brought friends. We weren’t disappointed. One couldn't ask for a better location in Aix. The apartment is very comfortable, and our friends had a wonderful time discovering the town and surrounding areas. We ate in several good restaurants, notably L'Amphitryon and La Brocherie which are both quite good. The view from the living room and kitchen in Bar took our breath away. I liked it best at twilight. Your places at Aix and Bar really helped to make our vacation. They were particularly convenient for our party of four. Although we didn't see the gardien while we were in Aix, we did meet your housekeeper in Bar, Mme Mamonti. She is a delight. Thanks again for contributing to our very delightful French vacation." "Your apartment is a dream. I can’t imagine a better location at the top of the Cours Mirabeau so very near the markets and the high life. And because the apartment is located in the Quartier Mazarin south of the Cours, it was easy negotiating those streets that are in grid formation rather than the ones to the north of the Cours which, although charming, are a driver’s nightmare. We all fit very comfortably there and although we ate out most nights, my wife was very happy in your kitchen making the few meals we cooked up after shopping at the marché."
