Alain's house is lovely, well-cared for, well-decorated, with a good kitchen if you don't want to eat out every night. You will either need a car or to use taxis f you are planning to spend a lot of time in Arles center in the warm weather, as the bus is infrequent and stops operating at 3PM in the afternoon. It's tiring if you are needing to go back and forth by foot to historical Arles if you are spending the day and then want go home to relax or get ready for dinner out. So all in all, a responsive, thoughtful host with a comfortable and well-done house, but you will want a car or a good taxi service as described above.
