Great flat, great location

I choose this flat because for its high marks and glowing reviews. The comments you see repeatedly are all true: the unit is both larger and more attractive than it appears in pictures, the location is amazing, and Jayne is fabulous. You are within seconds of the promenade, minutes of the old city and Castle hill, and a quick bus or cab to the museums. Really had a wonderful experience in Nice and the flat was an excellent place to call home for a few days. I intend to stay again, the next time I visit the fascinating and beautiful city of Nice!

Owner response:It was lovely meeting you, and I look forward to seeing you again next time you come to Nice.

Great Property

Our family (2 adults and 2 boys ages 9/11) stayed at this apartment for 4 days in August and it was a very enjoyable stay. The apartment is far more spacious than the pictures make it look like and quite charming. It is on the second floor but there is a 3 person (very small) elevator for those who don't want to take the stairs or are disabled. The location is very good (one block off the main road/beach) made a bit nicer with the smallish walk out balcony. It was fully stocked including beach towels, boogy boards, mask/snorkels, pail/shovel, board games/cards, multiple english TV channels and an air conditioner for each bedroom and the main sitting area. We were also warmly welcomed by Jayne who was very accomodating and informative. Lots of restaurants nearby plus easy access to the bus stop for the airport and travel to Cannes, Antibes and St Paul du Vance. No parking - that would be very hard as it's very difficult to find a spot on the street. We would highly recommend this property. One tip, we arrived around midnight and opted for a taxi instead of working out the bus and it cost us 45 euro for the 10 minute ride. Going back, the bus was very easy and cost 4 euro per person although it takes a bit longer if you are travelling out of terminal 1 as it goes to terminal 2 first and takes a bit of time to get on it's way again after picking everyone up etc. Allow 1/2 hour travel time.

Beautiful apartment in Nice close to everything

This apartment was even nicer than the photos suggested! There were 5 of us staying here (4 adults and one 3 year old) and we had lots of great space to enjoy. Jayne met us at the apartment when we arrived and provided us with a great orientation to it, and to Nice in general. She had also accommodated the fact that were travelling with 3 year old and provided amenities that were very suitable. Jayne was easy and wonderful to deal with throughout the rental process and was a fabulous resource when we arrived! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this apartment as you won't be disappointed. You are literally a block from the Promenade des Anglais and the water, and are very close to little markets and shopping for all essentials. Two restaurants I would highly recommend: Koudou (more fish and seafood) and Barracuda (Italian) Both have great service and wonderful food. Both within walking distance. My family and I look forward to returning here!

As others have said, this is a beautiful apartment in a wonderful location! Thank you Jayne, for being flexible and patient in addressing all of our questions ahead of time. Five of us stayed here, including 3 teenagers, and we couldn't have been happier with the apartment. We'd recommend it without hesitation

Very Large, beautiful apartment in great location

Our family of five recently stayed in this beautiful apartment just a block from the sea. Groceries, restaurants, and shopping are all within a block. We were able to walk the 10 minute walk from the train station without a problem. It was very clean, with a completely modern kitchen and beautiful bathrooms. In all of the VRBO rental we have visited, this is one of the best. All towels and beach accessories were even provided. Jayne was very helpful and she gave us some great information on where to visit in the area. Highly recommended.

Owner response:Thank you so much for your kind words Jeff, it was a pleasure having you as our guest. Hope to see you again one day Jayne

My family and I (there are 5 of us) stayed in Jayne's apartment for 4 nights and I would have to say it is by far the most beautiful, spacious and homely apartment we have stayed in yet. The pictures dont do this apartment justice. It is much larger than you think. Jayne has made this apartment like a home away from home, truly. She is absolutely wonderful, helpful, accommodating and a true pleasure to deal with. We were met at the apartment by Jayne and her sister (wonderful lady) and they explained how everything works which was great. There is a folder which Jayne put toghether which we called the Nice bible it has all the information you could need. The beds were extremely comfortable the loung/dining room was so spacious and comfy we could all sit down and watch a DVD. This apartment is just behind the Hotel Negresco which is a must to see and we had dinner in the carousel restaurant (what an experience). You are so close to everything here but it is also very quiet and peaceful at night ( which after a full day out is fantastic). Thank you so much Jayne and when we return to Nice you will be the first place we will be back to.

Four of us just spent a great three days in this beautiful apartment located right behind the famous Negresco Hotel, one block off the Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Jayne was extremely gracious and helpful during our stay. The layout of the apartment is great for 4 people. The long hallway divides the living and dining area (very big) from the bedrooms. The master bedroom/en suite bathroom is very big. Lots of character. The local neighborhood has food markets and great shopping close by. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks to Jayne for our stay in her lovely, light and airy apartment in September, 2009. Great location, just a block to the Promenade, with nearby bakery, grocery, and chocolate shop. Easy walk to Old Town, train and bus stations with connections to Eze, Monaco, Cannes and Antibes. We highly recommend this apartment.

Jayne - This apartment has been a wonderful retreat for our family after daily outings along the Cote D'Azur. The location is fabulous for enjoying Nice and is wonderful for children as well. Thank you for your excellent assistance from start to finish! We hope to return in the future, but in the meantime we will highly recommend this apartment to our friends.

The apartments central location was idyllic to tour Nice and acted as a superb base to explore other cities dotted along the Cote D'Azur. The apartment itself is very relaxing and elegant and has every facility thinkable for a comfortable stay. THANK YOU!
