Escale Marseillaise - Large and peaceful Apartment near the Old Port of Marseille, France Reviews

Good location but could have used a thorough cleaning. Left over foods from prior guests with accompanying mouse droppings in kitchen drawers. No detergent for dishwasher or washing machine, no paper towels, no hand soap or shampoo, no coffee; what was provided was dish liquid soap, can of roach spray, toilet bowl cleaner, two cartons of dry dishwasher soap that got wet and hardened, coffee filters and tea, and one roll of toilet paper the host brought with him. The two towels were pretty coarse and the only ones provided. The space was large with OK furnishings but no tourist maps or info in English and the building gives an institutional vibe when going through the lobby. It seemed to us that a prostitute might have been living upstairs, late night traffic (midnight to four AM) with moaning, groaning, and loud voices. The unit could have been better but it seemed the host wanted to maximize return with least possible effort, reminded us to clean and vacuum on the way out. It was OK for a week and the price was fair but would probably look elsewhere next time.
