Le Petit Marais-Avail Dec 1st 1BR-1.5bath $1550 Month

Available after Dec. 1st, 2013.
Old Port (Vieux Port, right next to Vielle Ville [old town]). It's US $1,500 per MONTH, NOT per week :-)
Guide books and travel blogs have started referring to our rue Bonaparte and the Old Port area as 'Le Petit Marais,' because it's so much like that neighborhood in Paris-- lots of outdoor cafés, shops, bistros, boutiques and restaurants. It's very charming :-)
This apartment has no elevator, no dishwasher, and no air conditioning. It has a washer/dryer.
Booked till Dec. 1, 2013.
People see our ad, then they write us and ask what kind of discount can we offer them. We offer the rate posted here. $US 1,550 per month.
Please don't ask for a discount. These are our rates, and we don't make deals. People rent rue Bonaparte because they like it :-) (And they LOVE the location!!!) We accept almost all credit cards: V,MC, AE, etc.
Our rates are among the lowest for Nice on VRBO. I've looked, and I can't find anything for less on VRBO in Nice. Please don't ask for a discount.
You cannot rent this apartment without a credit card, and we must be able to verify who you are. One bedroom apartment- about 540 sq. ft. total-- or 50 square meters. It is not our intent to offend anyone by saying what we don't want. Sorry to list the negative, but we have been 'burned' as owners.
Please don't ask for a discount.
Also, please don't book your dates until you are sure. If you are having surgery and don't know if you will be able to make the trip, or some other reason, wait till you're sure. Please don't ask for a discount. You already know the answer. It's 'No discounts.'

Booked till December 1, 2013.
Current bookings: March 1 to April 1, April 13 - May 11, 2013, and May 15 to Dec. 1, 2013. Then, Jan, Feb, Apr,May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, and Nov, 2014 are booked in
advance.
This is current as of March 21, 2013.
You can consult the calendar here on VRBO.

Note: There is an $1,000 minimum. You cannot rent this apartment for ANY amount of nights for less than $1,000.
There are NO exceptions. Please don't ask. We most likely will not rent to you for one week until the last minute.

It's $1,550 per month; or, $1200 for two weeks; $1350 for 3 weeks; $1550 for 4 weeks or a month. (Plus, you leave 60 euros cash for the cleaning person.)
STRONGLY!!!!! prefer 3 or 4 week bookings-- or even one or two months. There is no way to rent this apartment for less than US$1,000 (plus 60 euros cash for cleaning).
We will probably NOT rent it for just one week-- even at $1,000--- as least not far in advance-- maybe last minute.

For an artist's perspective of her stay at this apartment and her time on the Cote d'Azur, google Susan K Miller and you will see her website with the Nice & Côte d'Azur 'sketch book'. Really lovely. She has a very detailed drawing of the apartment :-)
Or, write and ask me for the link :-) Once on her site, you have to keep clicking on 'Next' at the bottom right to view the whole Riviera portfolio :-)

This is a self-catering apartment. That means it is NOT hosted. You must be self-sufficient. You can not depend on the owners to solve your every problem or whim. We have to rent to people who look after themselves, and who know how to solve their own problems.
If you're very 'needy', this place won't work for you. We love 'go with the flow' kind of people-- especially if they are also clean and tidy. LOL
Please don't ask for a discount.
There are just two flights of stairs. NO ELEVATOR (LIFT). You must be able to walk up the marble stairs.
So sorry to say that we have had recent problems with guests leaving the place like a pigsty. This is NOT acceptable.
When you rent it, you must pick up things, and keep it tidy. When you leave, you should only leave a dish or two, a glass or two (not a sink full of dirty dishes), and you must keep up with the laundry-- so that there are just the last used sheets and towels to clean (you are not to leave 4 loads of laundry to wash!). And you must keep up with the garbage, which is picked up 5 days a week, rather than piling up several bags. And it is simply not kosher to leave used prophylactics under the bed (Ugh!). And please try hard not to break lamps, or spill drinks on the Mac computer wireless keyboard. (Yes, that's what has been going on there!! Shocking, isn't it. We want it to stop, and so does our cleaning person.)
A fee of $75 will be added to your credit card if you cannot or will not leave the apartment in decent order.
Please write and ask me for the YouTube video link. You can take a quick 3 minute tour online :-)

If you want to be right next to the beach on Promenade des Anglais, this is NOT the place for you. We prefer not to rent to 'beach people.' It's not what our neighborhood is about. Ours is like 'the Marais' in Paris.
Please look for other places much nearer to the beach.

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, from the video web link, and from talking to me :-)

Please don't ask for a discount. The answer is: No discounts.
5 minute walk to Vielle Ville-- the very old part of town with 'ruelles' instead of streets.
3 min. walk (2 blocks) to Old Port harbor restaurants, ships, and antique stores.

One bedroom apartment, spacious living room, open kitchen. Works best for single or a couple sleeping in the same bed. Not suitable for two singles. We prefer a single or a couple-- other owners in the building are locals and keep a quiet, clean place. They are very proud of their location and their building. They are wonderful neighbors-- low-key, and low profile.
Note: You should bring slippers to walk on the beautiful marble and tile floors :-)
Please don't ask for a discount.

Please don't ask for a discount. The answer is: No discounts.
You could be old and very tidy. You could be young, or an artist and not have much money. You could be on limited income, or you could just be someone who simply cannot pay the asking rate on anything at any time-- whatever. I'm sorry. We still will not offer you a discount. We don't want guests who feel they are entitled to a discount. Our place is so well-priced already-- very reasonable.
