I loved the location, which is just outside Old Town Nice, the apartment was bigger than expected with all amenities including the small but important things like an iron, blow dryer, shampoo, plates and dishes etc. The AC was fabulous as well. Maria did a great job providing instructions beforehand and during check in. Highly recommend!

Best location yet
All great except for communicating with and connecting with the person charged with meeting us at the property. Bedroom air conditioner broken making the room somewhat uncomfortable.
The property manager made the check in very easy and smooth. The property was as expected and displayed in the ad. We were able to work remotely from it with no wifi issues while enjoying being within a walking distance from the port, the vieux Nice and la Promenade. Access to the airport is on a direct connection (via L2 and takes about 20/30 min for 1.50€).
Highly recommended.
Thanks

Dear Mouez - thank you so much for such a great review. It has been a pleasure to welcome you and we hope that one day you may decide to return to visit us here on the Sunny Riviera :)
Great position in Nice next to the port,Place Garibaldi and Place du Pin.
Lots of excellent restaurants and bars and just an 8-10 minute walk into Vieux Nice.
The apartment itself however is enclosed and overlooked by other apartments surrounding it. Opening any curtains would give a full view of your bedroom and lounge to numerous other apartments.
Unfortunately during our stay extensive, major building work was going on right outside the lounge area at the apartments opposite from 7.30 in the morning with a lot of noise!
The apartment was very clean and spacious.
Sehr ruhiges Apartment, hervorragend über die beiden Tram-Linien 1 + 2 zu erreichen, kurze Wege zum Hafen und zum Meer. Das Apartment verfügt über alles, was man braucht. Wir hätten es gern für den September noch einmal gebucht, war aber schon vergeben.
Proche du port, des transports er des commerces, dans un environnement calme. C'est la 2e fois que nous y séjournons, car nous apprécions beaucoup l'ensemble.
Wegen des Corona-Virus und den damit verbundenen Einschränkungen konnten wir die Ferien nicht so geniessen, wie erhofft. Trotzdem, die Wohnung war sehr geräumig, hell und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.

A perfect stay in Nice
We have just returned from a fabulous trip to Nice. We stayed for 5 nights in this wonderful apartment which is a mere dander to the port and the old town. It was perfect. The apartment is exactly as it looks in the photos; clean, fresh and modern with everything you would need to have enjoyable holiday. The property manager (Dana) could not have been more helpful leading up to and during our stay. my husband and I are just trying to workout when we can go back to this wonderful city!
