“Wonderful stay in Nice Old Town” This apartment was a perfect base for our visit to Nice. The location is great, in the heart of the Old Town, and it was easy to walk everywhere. Kitchen well stocked with crockery, glasses,... more

“A beautiful apartment in a beautiful city.” We spent a week in Nice - the old town is busy, picturesque and ideal for a relaxing break. The apartment is modern but still holds the French chic features. It is surrounded by lovely restaurants, bars and very close to the beach. Lots of things to do and see.

“Right in the heart of the old town” Great location, stones throw away from the market, sea food restaurants and the beach. Local agent was very friendly and couldnt be more helpful. Clean and comfortable apartment with simple furnishing. Everything you need for a great stay in NIce.

“Great location” This apartment is located right in the heart of the old town of Nice so was perfect for us. We walked out the front door right into cafes, restaurants and bars and people walking around having a great time. We loved being right in the midst of things and it was about a minutes walk to the beach and the market so it really was a great location. The apartment is nice and comfortable and had pretty much everything we needed. Both the caretaker and the owner were great to deal with and I would be very happy to deal with them again. We were met by the caretaker who made sure that everything was okay. We were very late getting into Nice because of train problems but he was totally relaxed about that. He came back during the week to make sure we were okay.

“A Little Gem” A great mix of a modern apartment in an old building, throw open the windows and the atmosphere floats in. Overlooking traditional little back streets, with easy access to the old town, markets and beach.

“Home from home” We have just returned from a second stay at this apartment and we really wouldn't stay anywhere else in Nice. It is set in the old town near the flower market and offers such an excellent... more

“We'd be delighted to stay again!!!” We were astonished to read the negative review above since we had a very different experience when staying in this same apartment in October 2011. We found the apartment to be very clean,... more

“Excellent location in the heart of the old town of Nice” This is a fantastic holiday apartment in an excellent location. The apartment is a couple of minutes walk from the Cours Saleya, 5 minutes walk from the beach and right in the middle of the old town. There are loads of lovely restaurants and bars right on the doorstep which we were able to sample! As the apartment has cooking facitlities we were also able eat in and visited the local market to buy some fresh fish and vegatables. The building itself is very historic and traditionally French, yet the apartment is modern and clean. For me this was perfect as it satsfied the romance of being in an old French palace but at the same time we had modern facilities. It was also very easy to get to and from the airport.

“Great location and a very comfortable apartment” The apartment was situated in the old town. Nearby was the daily fruit and vegetable market, numerous restaurants and shops. The bus station was a 5 minute walk from the apartment. The apartment was lovely, it had all the amenities that one expects and was very clean. I would strongly recommend this apartment and I hope I will return there someday. As with all apartments in the Old Town in Nice I would expect that in the summer months the area would be a lot more lively than in November.

“not properly maintained” We arrived to find dirty shelves, dishes and utensils, door handles which fell off to the touch, and had to search for instructions on how to operate equipment such as internet access, television. Some furnishings such as bedside lamp and living area rugs, pictured in description, were not present. I believe some of problem was due to owner being in UK and manager of apartment being "on holiday" so there was no one on scene to appeal to. The neighbors were very noisy and kept us awake with their raucous behavior. Street noise lasted until about 3 AM, and prevented sleep even with windows closed. We started noticing insect bites, which were severe. One bug, swollen with blood, was killed. Although location of apartment was excellent, we would never stay there again, and cannot, in conscience recommend it. Prior to our arrival in Nice we had stayed in vacation rentals in Lyon and Le Luberon area of Provence, both of which were fine....not this one, sad to say. Response: We were extremely upset to hear about the claims made by this guest, so we decided to fly out to investigate for ourselves. We frequently use the apartment ourselves and regard it as our home from home. We can honestly say this is the first and only negative feedback we have had in 5 years of renting and would like to respond as follows: We made the guest fully aware that our agent was on holiday in case he was not happy with this. The changeover cleaning was done prior to arrival but it would seem not thoroughly, for which we apologise. We have infact just appointed new, highly recommended managing agents who start in January 2012. We found one faulty door handle. We sometimes have small issues at the end of the rental season, hence our very low £50 per day rate, which this guest paid. One bedside lamp had been moved as it needed a new bulb (now replaced) and the small rug in the lounge is no longer there since the photo's were taken. We hope the rug absence will not spoil anyone's stay. We assume that most independent travellers who use and love our apartment are quite happy to find a healthy supply of books, DVD's and instruction manuals all in one place in our sideboard in the lounge. We have not felt the need to introduce a rigorous filing system after the review. We have never received a complaint about the neighbours. The building is mainly occupied by local Nicoise business owners who have lived there for many years. We can only apologise for this random occurence. With regard to street noise, the old town is a cosmopolitan and vibrant area, so not always completely quiet. We are always upfront about this with our guests and in truth, most people love the area so much, they are happy about it. We have double glazing in the bedroom and lounge. We are really sorry this guest had a bad experience but we have guests who return year on year and on the very week we received this review, we also received two bottles of wine - a thank you gift from two Australian ladies who had a very different experience. We have asked them to leave a review too, let's hope they do!
