The apartment is comfortable and in a good location. The kitchen was very well stocked and the owner and person that took care of the apartment were very attentive and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend it to other guests.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Nice and found the apartment very comfortable convenient and very quiet considering its location in the city centre. It is very well equipped with the air-conditioning very welcome as we were there during a very warm spell. The owner and 'care-taker' were very helpful and I would recommend this accommodation as ideal for exploring Nice and surroundings.
We had a great stay at Marie-France's Appartement! Enjoyed the spacy living room with its tastefull enterieur, the well equipped kitchen, the modern shower and the sleep in the comfortable bed. Ideal to discover Nice by food, only a short walk of 10 min. to Vieille Ville, 15 min to the beach..shops and restaurants just around the corner..it always felt like coming home to a beloved space after our daytrips. Thanks, Marie-France for letting your guests share in your beautiful apartement :)

Thank you Fayad. I just woke up and I had a lot of pleasure reading your appréciation. I am glad you enjoyed the apartment, the city and your vacation. I will arrive in Nice on October 2nd and your note makes me impatient to be there.
My apartment will always be open for you. Alfredo’s comments about you and your wife could not have been more positive.
All the best to both of you. Stay in touch.

Thank you for your appreciation Susan. I am glad that you enjoyed your stay. We will be happy to have you or your friends in our place again
We returned for a third time to stay in this lovely apartment, this time for three weeks. It feels like a home from home for us and we absolutely love it. There is a very welcoming local community, everyone is very friendly and the location is so convenient for getting out and about in Nice.
We will definitely return again, highly recommended!
Lovely apartment in great location for Nice sights
Good location, close to Gare Thiers and metro lines. Easy to walk to most places.
Apartment matches the photos! is nice and roomy. Comfortable bed and pillows.
We had a lovely stay for 7 nights
We very much enjoyed our stay in this comfortable and quiet home just a short walk to the tram, to shopping, to Square Massena and the Promenade des Anglais.
After long day tours it was a pleasure to return "home" to relax in comfort with everything we could want or need

We loved our week in this beautiful apartment
A bright comfortable space with every amenity we needed. A short walk to Jean Medecin's transit, restaurants and shops. A shirt stroll through the town brought us quickly to Vielle Nice. We didn't want to leave!

Hi Gwen, Thank you for your evaluation. I have taken notes of the things you mentionned should be in the apartment. I have started to buy things according to your list like the scrubbing pads for the kitchen.
Second visit, a lovely stay in this charming apartment
We first stayed here in July 2023 and really loved this beautiful apartment and location. Delighted to be back for a winter break, so much so we will be returning for a further stay shortly.
The apartment is charming and is very well equipped with everything one needs for a home away from home stay. Excellent location for shopping, local bars and restaurants and the tram to the Old Town and Seafront.
Highly recommended
The flat is in a good location near the train, tram and bus stops. Easy to get around. The flat is in a nice quiet building, with not much street traffic. Marie-France was great giving us detailed instructions of the flat. Beds were comfortable, Appliances are new. Definitely would use again in the future.

Jeff stayed in my apartment for two weeks in September. I arrived the day he and his mother left. The man who looks after cleaning the apartment had nothing but good things to say. My contacts with Jeff have been extremely pleasant and easy. I will be very happy to have him stay at my place any time.
This was the best stay we have had at a short term rental place. The apartment is on a nice street close to many restaurants, shopping locations, tram to go to the airport (20 min), the beach, promenade des anglais (15 min) , the old city area and the metro. The response time from Marie-France for the booking was quick and Alfredo showed flexibility during check-in and was responsive when we had questions. We really felt at ease in the apartment as it is bright, felt large due to the open concept, the bathroom area modern and the kitchen had all what was needed plus some. Many restaurants are just a few minutes away on Biscarra and with Jean Medecin also just a few minutes away which is the main thoroughfare with the tram is and many shops located. We would definitely want to stay with Marie-France if we were to be in Nice in the future and absolutely enjoyed all what the city has to offer.

Hi Gilles, I thought I had sent an appreciation about you regarding your stay in our apartment. Alfredo has kept me informed about your arrival and your departure. He had nothing but good things to say about you and your partner. I will be happy to have you stay at my place any time. Thank you for your very detailed positive comments.
More than adequate and spacious for two, and has almost everything you could want. Airco was great, and excellent sunshades keep it from overheating anyway. Cleaning could have been better, and the oven in particular was very dirty. The bedroom and beds and also the carpets could do with a good vacuuming. Lack of an extractor fan kept us from using the cooktop, but plenty of good restaurants make it less of a necessity. Plenty of hot water for a shower or a bath was great! Washer/dryer was very nice, too. We felt very secure with the multiple licks on the door, and the location in a quiet side street in the center of town. Public transport is within a couple of minutes, as are some shops and supermarkets. Overall a good experience, even if it is somewhat expensive, and I would not hesitate to recomend this place.

Hi Rudi. Thanks so much for your valued feedback, some of which we have provided to our property manager Alfredo. He does a great job cleaning and welcoming guests, but may have missed the oven in this case due to a tight check in schedule that day. If there is ever an issue, he can simply be contacted while you are onsite to address any issue that comes up such as this.
It's not really possible to have an exhaust fan over the stove as it's an island kitchen and ducting to outside is basically impossible. But with 3 large French windows, the room is easily vented.
Nice is more expensive during peak summer season when you stayed with us. We have compared rates with neighboring hotels and rentals, and are very confident our centrally located, large, air conditioned, and renovated condo offers phenomenal value.
We are really happy you enjoyed your stay!

Tranquility in the heart of Nice
In September 2018, my wife and I enjoyed a lovely time in Nice at this apartment near Avenue Jean-Medecin. The apartment was spacious enough for us to invite another couple to share several nights with us. Everything we found there was as indicated on the website. The kitchen is newly-renovated with an induction range, an oven, and other modern features which made roasted chicken, lamb couscous, and poached dourade all a snap. Shopping for food and everything else was close by and convenient. The bathroom also was newly fitted and included a washer/dryer combo...a little tricky! but ultimately successful. The apartment is secure, in a rear building away from the street, but sun streamed through the living room windows every morning. The only noise was happy children at a school on the other side of a parking lot. Closing the windows...taking advantage of the air conditioning... made everything calm and quiet.
Our hosts were very attentive to our needs. They established communication early in the reservations process and gave us a secure feeling about our arrival after a long trip from California. We have rented and stayed in apartments in many parts of France; this one is high on our list of places to return to.

Un appartement très bien situé à une distance de marche des sites touristiques et des boutiques/restaurants.
Facilité pour les accès au Tram et Bus pour les visites des autres villes à proximité de Nice.
Je recommande à 100%
Nous connaissions les environs puisque nous allons à Nice chaque année. Excellent communication avec la propriétaire. Calme, spacieux, très bien équipé, tout a été agréable.

Lucie et Maude ont occupé mon appartement pendant une quarantaine de jours. Elles m’ont
tenue au courant de leurs promenades y compris de la température de la mer. J’ai aimé ce rapport amical. Elles m’ont appris leur arrivée à Nice et leur départ. La communication était excellente. L’appartement était dans un état parfait après leur départ. Je les recommande sans hésitation à tout propriétaire qui auront la chance de les recevoir.
Nous avons apprécié notre séjour rue Biscarra.
Grand appartement qui est très bien équipé et fonctionnel
à proximité de magasin et resto.
Nous y avons passé 1 mois et visité Nice en toute quiétude.

Grand et bel appartement au plain centre de Nice proche de toutes commodités. Parmi quelques bémols, il faut citer les bruits de voisinage auxquels il faudra s'habituer. Heureusement pas tous les jours! Sinon, à conseiller!

About the host
Hosted by Marie-France Shortliffe
We are a retired couple since 2014. We spend 5 to 6 months in Nice each year. We live the rest of the time in Montreal in Canada with our children and grandchildren. It is easy to reach us to make sure that your stay is enjoyable. We do not ask for a caution because our experiences of our tenants has always been good when we used to rent a studio we had in the Old Town.
Why they chose this property
We had a studio in the Old Town for 18 years. We used to rent it when we were not using it. It became too small for us when we decide to stay in Nice for longer period of time. We also wanted to stay in a home that would be quieter, brighter and with easy acess with an elevator or stairs that would be easy to climb. This apartment has an elevator that we never use. It is located 10 minutes away from the train station. You can go and explore different places and towns comfortably, quickly, and at a reasonable cost.
What makes this property unique
The apartment is spacious, bright and calm. Everything is there to make sure you enjoy a good meal, sleep in peace, take a nice bath, read a good bood, watch TV, listen to some music and invite some quiet friends. It is ideally located to buy food, clothes, etc at the Monoprix which is on the Avenue Jean Médecin, on the rue Lépante, or at the Liberation Market up the Avenue Jean Medecin. The tramway allows convenient longer trips. There is a wide range of restaurants and stores. Electric cars around the corners make it easy to go to other places.
