As a couple, we stayed here in early February and the apartment more than compensated for the rather rainy weather. It is beautifully decorated, has everything you need, comfortable sofas, and cosy central heating. The view from the sitting room with its little wrought iron balcony took in both the port- with its shipping activities- and the open sea.
Although the apartment is within easy walking distance of the Old Town (lots of cafes and bars) it is essentially situated in the antiques quarter of Nice. Fine for buying an antique, but it meant that specialist food shops (butchers etc) were rather hard to find and at a distance. The nearest sizable supermarket-not very inspiring- was about 20 minutes walk. Presumably because it was winter, many of the cafes on the port were closed or partially open .The bus service, however, was cheap and usable, and would take you to destinations near and far.
The care we received for the owner was excellent. We have had enough dealings with rental properties to understand how important this is. First, we were able to pay through HomeAway which feels more secure. Second, all emails were answered promptly. Lots of information was provided. A local concierge service was on hand; transfers arranged to and from the station. Cheese, biscuits, coffee and wine were provided for an arrival snack.
We would definitely recommend this apartment.
