About the home
Fully redecorated January 2010, this bright spacious apartment is situated bang in the middle of Nice's pedestrian old town, so no traffic noise!
Surrounded by bakeries, markets, small shops and restaurants - bustling by day but calm at night.
The flat is on the third floor, and the bedroom is tucked calmly away at the rear of the apartment ensuring a good night's sleep. It has a king size double bed, whilst the lounge sofa can also be converted to a double bed if required.
The beach is a 5 to 10 minute stroll through the old town, and the airport à 4 Euro shuttle from the Gare Routiere (bus station)- a mere 200 meters from the flat).
From the bus station you can also get buses to just about any town in the region for 1€00 (including ski resorts in winter).
The nearest (brand new) tramway stop at 200 meters is far enough not to be heard, but within easy walking distance: it will carry you to the train station (Gare Thiers) or Nice's main shopping district (Jean Medecin) with ease.
Though in a traditional Nicois building, this apartment has been fully modernised to provide maximum comfort (see below).

Photos
The Provence Alpes Cote d'Azur / Alpes-Maritimes region
The old city is the most picturesque areas of Nice and is sandwiched between the long beach and the Parc du Chateau, a large luxuriant municipal park built on the hill between the old town and the port.
In an environment of baroque architecture, you will discover colours and light of Cours Saleya with its famous Flower Market, the place Rossetti with its Italian atmosphere, the place du Palais ... but also the narrow streets, the " trompe-l'oeil " façades and the terraces in the shade of parasols, the numerous churches and the steps which lead up to the magnificent park of the chateaux.
The best way to discover all these treasures is on foot in order to fully appreciate the unique atmosphere which reigns in this neighbourhood. Nice is one of the sunniest places in France with over 300 days of sunshine a year. Temperatures reach 35 degrees in late July/Early August and rarely drop below freezing in winter.
Behind nice the alps rise steeply so fresh mountain air is only an hour's drive away (or in winter - skiing).
The Nice / Vieux Nice area
There are many museums and festivals in nice, most within walking distance of the apartment - for example, the both the Museum of Modern Art and the Palais Lascaris are less than a kilometre away.
The Cours Saleya market is a vibrant and enlivening sight every day Tuesday to Sunday (Mondays it is replaced by an antiques market), and in the evenings the streets of the old town are filled with the tables of the small restaurants and bars.
There are so many events it is impossible to list them all, please check the town's website for a full list:

We loved Nick's apartment in the old town so much, we've booked again for next July. It's in a great street which has every kind of shop you might need and a cafe straight across the road with good coffee. There's a fish market every morning in the little square, 20 yards down the street, a butchers and a cheese shop, and cake shops and well, everything, including a supermarket at the end of the street. The apartment is very well equipped and furnished and perfectly placed for exploring Nice. The bus station is very close, making the transfer to and from the airport very easy. Thank's Nick Response: Thanks so much! It was great to meet you. See you in July! Nick x |

“Both Nick and his apartment are fantastic! We could not have asked for a better place to rent whilst we stayed in Nice. The apartment was spotlessly clean with loads of character and set up... more |

"Dear Nick. We really enjoyed our week in Nice. Apartment ideally situated for all transport links and nightlife in the old town. Thank you for all your helpful advice and we look forward to returning in May or June to enjoy more of the delights on offer in the area. " Raymond O'loane.
"Dear Nick. My dad and I had a lovely time in your apartment - he is talking about going again to Nice and this time taking my mom with him. Your place has everything one needs during a holiday and I am sure many will stay and have a nice time there in the future. Best wishes and sunny days. Natalja"
"A belated but hearty thanks for our lovely stay in your splendid holiday pad! I really enjoyed our stay in Nice and the lively, bustling Rue Paroliere. And waking up to the fab coffee machine bubbling away beats a hotel any day! We just wished we had decided to book a longer stay! - Next time! I would definitely recommend your place and visit a second time. " - Camilla.
"I'm so sorry I didn't see any of your latest emails until I was in Europe! Thank you again for giving us such a wonderful experience. Your apartment is perfect, and its location is wonderful. I'm just curious if you ever rent it out on a monthly basis? I'm considering going to Nice for a three-month period to do some waitressing and improve my French. " - Kathleen O'Hagan
"Thank you, the apartment was great, perfectly situated, extremely well equipped, comfortable and quiet. It was also a great boon having wifi access. We shall most definitely be using the apartment again." - Steve Paske
“A truly great holiday - so much to do and such a lovely flat. Thanks.” – Jim Fryer.
"Hi Nick ! Thanks for renting your apartment out to us last week - the place is awesome - I hope lots of people log on and hire it too so you can get the house in the hills up and running ! I will definatley be in touch to hopefully stay there next year." - Alex
"Hey. Just to let you know all is cool with the flat. We have had an amazing time and the flat was fabulous.....hopefully we will return sometime next year." - Nicky Noble.
"Hello Nick,
I'm sure you'd like to know that the three of us (Karen, Luke and myself) had a most enjoyable stay in your apartment from 7th to 14th September; it hardly seems possible that the next people who booked (if they only stayed for a week) will now already have had their turn.
With best wishes." - David Boden
"We loved the flat and have already suggested it to loads of people. We really had a fantastic time.
We will definitely rent your place again. And if you ever come to canada (maybe on a book tour??) give us a call!" - Joanne and Cyrus
"We would like to thank you again! Your flat was fabulous and we really enjoyed our stay in Nice.
If we will go to Nice again in the future, we will go to your apartment again (if it will be possible)."
Roman and Sara
"We loved staying in your apartment, the fact that it is literally right round the corner from the bus station was great for our late arrival, not wandering the streets with our luggage and also our early morning flight - your directions were spot on. It just felt so easy to get about, everything was so close by and we loved being in the midst of the old town. We couldn't have wished for more.
We would definitely recommend your apartment to friends and family. The Ab Fab and Kath and Kim dvd boxsets - nice touch!!!"
