This just in from our last guests-- husband and wife from Toronto, David Udall and Sal Laba:
"We have just arrived home.
We really enjoyed the location of your apartment and found it so easy to get around from there.
We left the apartment in good shape.
Thank you for being so helpful. We will be putting positive comments on the VRBO site."
Sal and David
Ray, we just want to add these comments to your site:
1. The location is perfect! Everything you could possibly need or want is right
there.
2. Unless you are arriving at a very strange hour, you don't need to spend 35
euros on a taxi from the airport. The express bus (4 euros/person)runs every 20
minutes and will deposit you at the Gare Routière, which is a 5-10 minute to the
apartment.
3. Having the ability to phone without charge to Europe and North America is a
definite plus.
Right in the thick of it!!! Old Port area-- see location on map. Right next to the ruelles of Old Town (like Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, or the
French Quarter of New Orleans). This apartment is NOT AIR CONDITIONED!!!!!!! Only ceiling and floor fans. The highest average temperatures
for Nice are 81-82F (20C) for July and August.
Apartment cannot be shown in advance. Sorry. You must book it from the photos and the info on this ad, and from talking to me :-)

The possibilities of things to do on the French Riviera are endless.
Europeans tend to go there to swim and eat. Others tend to go there
to sight-see and eat :-) Walking, hiking and antiquing are wonderful,
and a part of everyday life in Nice. Spend the day in Monte Carlo,
Villefranche-sur-Mer, or Antibes. Travel 30 minutes to Italy for lunch,
or just to have a gelato :-) (Tho Finocchio's in Vieux Nice is super!!)
Ventimiglia and San Remo are close by. It's wonderful in Nice. Go see.
Note: Until confirmed, rates are subject to change without notice.

Why the Owner Chose Nice
Location. Location. Location (+ the lovely balcony on the street side).
Accessibility: Airport: 10-15 minutes. 2 French windows overlooking the street. No car rental needed during your stay. Nice is the Queen of the French Riviera, surrounded by glamour, but a vibrant, working city itself. It used to be part of Italy, and you feel that. Even now, you can go to Italy for lunch on the train and back--- it's that close. The train station, Riquier, is about 8 blocks away, and you catch the bus that goes all over the Riviera two blocks away at the Port, and for just one Euro, you go to Monte Carlo or Villefranche-sur-Mer, etc.
The Unique Benefits at this Self-catering Apartment Rental
This apartment is NOT particularly near the beach. You can find other apartments MUCH, MUCH closer to the beach-- and you should do so if you are a beach person heading to Nice for a beach vacation. But, if instead, you are not that into the beach scene, and you are visiting to explore the town, frequent the incredible restaurants and shop at the hundreds of boutiques and shops, then this is your place. The neighborhood, the Old Port area, is a virtual beehive of activity. As one taxi driver described it: "It's humanity in a village." However, it's all quiet at night, so you can sleep :-)
Owner's Map of Nice
Ray Ruiz rents out his vacation apartments in Paris, Nice and Santa Fe, and runs a bed and breakfast in New Orleans. You can google him if you like :-) His photography and feature articles have been widely published -- in local publications, as well as in literary and travel journals around the world -- in the U.S., U.K., Australia, Germany, South Africa, Denmark, Sweden, Holland, Scotland and Ireland. Some images have been cover photos.
Ray has studied art at the New Orleans Academy of Fine Arts, concentrating in drawing and painting, as well as in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. He has had several one-man art shows.
A New Orleanian of French and Spanish heritage, Ray studied at the University of New Orleans, and the Alliance Francaise, Sorbonne on the Left Bank (la rive gauche) in Paris, where Cafe Flore and Cafe Deux Magots were his daily haunts. He graduated with a B.A. in Philosophy and English from Louisiana State University in 1970, and earned his M.S. degree in Psychology from Golden Gate University in San Francisco in 1987.
During his two-plus decades in San Francisco years, he managed his own downtown Art Gallery, directed college recruiting and management hiring for AT&T for the 13 Western states for 22 years, and ran a popular guest house in San Francisco's colorful Castro District.
Since his return to New Orleans, besides painting and taking photographs, Ray has been managing his popular bed and breakfast, La Dauphine, Residence des Artistes. He enjoys living a laid-back, Bohemian lifestyle with Dr. Kim Pedersen, a research molecular biologist, who has moved to New Orleans from Denmark to live with Ray. Ray also manages and rents out their apartments in Paris, Nice and Santa Fe, New Mexico.
