Thank you very much for your review. Much appreciated

We are obviously disappointed at such negative review and take any criticisms seriously. Unfortunately, there was clearly a mismatch between the type of accommodation sought and what we are able to offer, which is making our home in France available to holidaymakers. It is a shame that the reservation was made without properly checking the specifications of the apartment as stated and shown in photos on the VRBO website. The furniture and bathroom are clearly depicted in the photos. We strongly dispute the apartment is bare or the furniture cheap. The amount of furnishings are proportionate to the size of the rooms without making them cramped. The main pieces of furniture (e.g. bed, sideboards, table) are bespoke and of solid hardwood construction. There are some smaller items from Ikea, for example, but these would be ones which can be easily replaced if showing any signs of wear. Because of the curved walls in the bathroom, a conventional shower curtain pole cannot be fitted and thus a chrome wire line shower curtain cable has been fitted. We do not advertise that there is a tumble dryer or that shampoo/body wash is provided. The layout of the apartment block, including the garage size, swimming pool location and related amenities are beyond our control. There is a shower next to the pool. Ultimately it is a residential apartment block and not a purpose-built holiday complex which appears to have been the expectation. Prior to your stay we answered your queries about possible traffic noise. We stand by our comments that it is audible, and that we have never found it disturbing. Clearly it is matter of perception, but given the close proximity to beaches, the restaurants and shops, most accommodation in the town would have similar or greater noise levels, or would be considerably more expensive. For the record, the apartment is on the 3rd floor, at right angles to the road and set back approximately 30 metres. It is true that you moved out early, but without any prior warning to us or our agent and we were taken aback by the tenor and demands of your subsequent correspondence. Where renters have in the past raised concerns we have always tried to respond positively e.g. installing air conditioning, where this is possible. If potential customers are reading this review we would suggest carefully checking the details on the website carefully to avoid similar disappointment and to note this review is very much an exception compared to other much more positive comments we have received over the years.

We are glad that your stay must have been good based on the star rating, but must respond to some of the comments made. Unlike many short-term rented apartments available on the internet, it is our own second home and not owned by a large company. It is therefore not a corporate style premises with standardised fittings, as would be apparent from the online photos. The crockery/cutlery may not all be matching, but simply we don't believe in disposing of the existing items when part of a set needs replacing, which would not be sustainable. I don't understand the comment about glass yoghurt containers with nothing fitting that description. There are 8 china coffee cups. The kitchen and hob are new, having been replaced in 2019 and is in very good condition. We're very sorry if the screws in the bed needed tightening, but having visited several weeks after your stay, we can report that it it has remained fixed.

Merci beaucoup pour votre avis. Nous l'apprécions beaucoup. Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé de bonnes vacances à Antibes.

Merci beaucoup pour vos commentaires. La climatisation a été installée sur la base des conseils techniques d'un ingénieur local en climatisation pour desservir l'ensemble de l'appartement, en locataire compte de la taille de l'appartement, de sa nature relative à plan ouvert et en locataire compte de la durabilité environnementale. Nous n'avons eu aucune plainte des vacanciers précédents quant à la climatisation. De plus, nous fournissons en plus deux ventilateurs électriques. L'appartement est situé dans un quartier résidentiel. La résidence est en retrait de la route par un jardin de bonne taille et l'appartement est situé sur le côté et ne fait pas face à la route. Bien que la résidence soit située en ville, le niveau de bruit est certainement inférieur à celui de la vieille ville ou d'un emplacement directement face aux plages. De plus, toutes les fenêtres sont équipées de volets que l'on peut fermer la nuit. La taille du garage est typique d'un immeuble de son âge. Il convient à un VUS familial typique, mais comme vous le dites, il nécessite quelques manœuvres. En ce qui concerne la machine à laver. Le fonctionnement de la machine à laver et les autres équipements de l'appartement vérifiés régulièrement avant la saison de location et après la saison de location et des remplacements sont effectués en conséquence quand et si nécessaire.

Merci beaucoup pour votre avis sur votre séjour dans notre appartement. C'est très apprécié et nous sommes ravis que vous ayez passé un bon moment à Antibes et dans notre appartement. Bon dimanche. Cordialement Hugh
