ABOUT ME

What I Can Share with Hosts

I know Marseille well and really love this city. I am happy to introduce people to it.

I truly enjoy meeting new people and feel enriched by it.

I live in a small house with a huge garden and a dog and a cat. It is a peaceful place in the South of Marseille close to the beach, and suits those who want to discover the city in a quieter manner while really experiencing some 19th century Marseille architecture! The city centre is easily accesible (bus/metro, bikeshare...) and is about 30 min away.
