About the home

Our apartment is on the 2nd floor of a typical Nicois building in Rue Francois Zanin, a quiet but wide pedestrian street just round the corner (literally!) from the Old Town’s fabulous markets, shops, bars and restaurants and less than 10 minutes walk from both the beach and the port. It is also only a couple of minutes from Nice’s main bus terminal from where there are excellent services to the airport and the many attractions in Nice and the wider area (eg Monaco, Cannes, etc).

The apartment comprises a large (5m x 4m) double-window sitting room with dining area, a modern American-style kitchen, 2 bedrooms (one with a double bed and a walk-in wardrobe, the other with two single beds) and a modern WC/shower room.

The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region

Whether you are looking for a holiday with kids playing on the beach and rollerblading along the Promenade, or your passion is for exploring towns, villages or churches, or you just prefer to relax in wonderful restaurants and bars soaking up the sun, Nice is the place for you – and staying in the Old Town means that you can walk to most of the main central attractions, safe and secure both day and night.

The Nice / Vieux Nice area

The Old Town of Nice is one of Euope's 'jewels' - the historic buildings and pedestrianised streets are filled with the atmosphere of the local markets, restaurants and street cafes which you can enjoy or wander through, by day or night, relaxed and secure. Don't get put off by the city's reputation as a playground for the rich - the close proximity of the beach and the bus terminal (providing services not just to local attractions but also to Monaco, Cannes, etc) and the myriad of very reasonably priced restaurants and cafes means that you can have just as much fun on a tight budget!

Guestbook for Rue Francois Zanin, Vieux Nice

“Just returned from a great week in Nice and I can highly recommend this apartment. Situated in the Old Town, it is literally 2 minutes from the bus station & tram stop. The beach and market place are a leisurely 10 minute walk through the heart of the Old Town. You also have dozens of restaurants & cafes to choose from too.
“The apartment itself was very clean and comfortable. We had 4 staying and had plenty of space and never felt on top of each other, which is important for a relaxing holiday. The kitchen has everything you could want, dishwasher, cutlery, fridge/freezer etc. Also has a washing machine, and space for you to hang clothes. If you want to spend a night in, you have dvds and a comfy lounge.
“One of the best things about booking this apartment was dealing with Iain. He was always quick on email response, and returned my security deposit within 1 day of the holiday ending. He also has a guidebooks for you to use in the apartment plus an information booklet for the apartment and local area. It is a definite plus to deal with someone who knows what they are doing and has taken the time and effort to make your stay a good one.
“All in all, I would definitely recommend this apartment and the Old Town of Nice in general.”
Mr JH, London July 2009


“Wonderful stay in a great location in Old Town Nice. The apartment is very comfortable with everything needed for our stay. Worked very well for 2 adults and 2 teenage boys. The apt is well stocked with everything needed for cooking but you don't need to with many, many options for dining just steps from the apt door. “Iain was very helpful in our planning and flexible in helping us with an unexpected arrival time.”
MrsE, USA, July 2011

“Many thanks again, your apartment was exactly what we needed, very pleasant and well conceived”.
CC Dec 2011

“We had a lovely stay and what a beautiful place we will definitely be returning.”
LS Oct 2011

“We had a great time. Great location in the old town. We loved it, and plan to use it in the future if it is still available.”
Mr IR Sept 11

“We are a family of five with three kids between 1 and 4 years and spent one week in Iain's cosy apartment. The location in the pedestrian Zone of the Old Town of Nice just a few minutes away from the central bus station (Gare Rotiere) is unique, the flat itself was just perfect for us.” [Note – Gare Routier demolished 2011 but buses still stop nearby]
“The property was clean and well-maintained and the very and helpful owner provided plenty of useful information beforehand via email. We can recommend the flat to families with up to three children and conference delegates - the Acropolis convention Center is just ten minutes away. You really don't need a car in Nice!
“We especially liked the superb restaurant La Table Alziari on the ground floor of the building.”
Mrs E, Germany, May 2010

“Have just returned from a fabulous 5 night break in Nice, i would like to thank Iain for the rental of his apartment.
“I have travelled a few times to Nice before but can honestly say that the location of the aparment is excellent. it is a very short walk from the central bus station [Note – demolished 2011 but buses still stop nearby] , which is excellent to explore surrounding area for 1 euro, Cannes, Monaco and Menton were a few places we visited. “There is a large choice of restaurants within the vicinity and a great location to meander through the old town. The apatment itself was clean, modern and plenty of room for the 4 of us. It had all the facilities you would need it was home from home. We did enjoy the use of the many DVD's that were there when we had a night in.
“As for Iain the owner he was a pleasure to deal with, any enquires made were instantly responded to and on return Iain has within 1 day arranged the refund of our security deposit. The agent sam was there to meet us as arranged, we were sligthly delayed but i managed to contact her to advise and she was more than happy to arrive an hour later than planned. Overall an excellent apartment, excellent location and a owner/agent who are very easy to deal with.”
Ms A, UK, June 2010

“The flat was clean, well maintained and well equiped. It had everything we needed. Very coy and comfortable.
“Iain, the owner was always helpful and quick to respond to emails. Sam, his agent was charming despite our unfortunate late arrival and put herself out to answer our questions.
“The position is excellent, in the old town, near the bus station, shops and markets. Only a couple of minutes from the famous Rene socca.
“I would recommend it to anyone who can manage 4 short flights of stairs. We will be returning.”
Mr P, UK, February 2010

“A perfect base to explore Nice and all its surrounding areas. We totally enjoyed our week there. The apartment was very affordable and perfectly based within the heart of the old town. The old town is my choice as to where to stay in Nice. It has so much character, restaurants, markets and night life and all being only a few minutes walk to the beach. Highly recommend this place.”
Mr E, July 2009

“Iain's apartment was exactly as it was described on the website. It was also lovely and quiet, when we visited in March. (Looking at the photos of the apartment now, I wish I was back there! Hope to come back soon.) Perfect holiday, made even nicer by the affability and helpfulness of the owner, nothing seemed too much trouble. The location was superb we could walk everywhere in the lovely sunshine, and sit near the splashing fountains. Even the traffic noise in Nice itself seemed muted. The apartment is well organized, airy, spacious and well equipped; we loved hanging our washing out Naples-style from the windows. I would definitely recommend this property to a friend”.

“Everything about this apartment was excellent. I would highly recommend this to anyone staying in Nice. “Location was superb - within walking distance of local markets, bus station, port, restaurants (oliviera is a restaurant not to be missed), supermarkets and beach. Apartment was very well equiped with everything we needed for a great holiday for two adults and a toddler. There are a few flights of stairs up to the apt but these didnt cause too much trouble, even with a buggy. Iain, the owner, was very helpful and efficient in all our dealings. Thanks a million.”


“We have just returned from seven days in Nice. Having previously lived in Nice I would recommend this apartment without hesitation. Very comfortable and extremely well equipped, we all immediately felt at home. It was clean and really had everything we needed for our holiday.Its location is ideal and you are just a short distance from the central bus station and the tramway. Shops and restaurants are literally on your doorstep. We booked at very short notice and found the booking process to be very straightforward. Iain was very helpful and efficient. I really cannot fault any aspect of our whole experience and we would definitely return.”

“Just had 2 brilliant weeks here (June 2008). We like to go to Nice every summer and this is a lovely apartment with great facilities in the best location of any we have stayed at. We want to be back there - NOW!!”

“Iain was more than helpful with answering my many questions about the apartment and Nice in general. The apartment was very well located to all the attractions, including lovely restaurants, within easy walking distance. The apartment had everything you would need and items you wouldn't normally expect to find to make the stay very pleasurable. As we didn't have a car, being so close to the bus station was very convenient.
Highly recommended to anyone wishing to base themselves in Nice.”

“I spent five days in the apartment in Feb 08. The apartment was well situated. The property was very clean and well maintained. The owner ( Iain ) was very helpful when i made the booking. I will be back in 2009 for the Tour. The apartment has excellent facilities and i would definitely recommend!”

“Your apartment was fantastic and really was like being home from home. We have said we want to return to Nice in a couple of years or so and I hope you will still be letting your apartment out by then as we would definitely return to your apartment. “

“Many thanks. You've made good job of doing up the apartment - we found it very comfortable and had a great time there - a very good location.”

“My family and I had a most enjoyable stay at your apartment. I would not hesitate to rent your apartment again when we next visit Nice.” DG

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nice and the accommodation played a huge part. We will recommend 4 rue Francois Zanin without hesitation. “

“We had a lovely time, the apartment was perfect!”
