  I cannot say enough about this lovely apartment and its location. The apartment is light and airy and has a wonderful view of the cafes below. We were there with our two children and my mother-in-law and there was plenty of room for everyone. The amenities were more then satisfactory and the kitchen was easy and comfortable to cook in - which we did almost every day for breakfast. We also took food that we purchased at the market and made fantastic meals which we ate while listening to the bustling sounds of the town below. The little beach nearby was wonderful fun for the children and on Bastille Day we were treated to a fantastic marching band serenading us in the courtyard below for about an hour while the crowds watched and danced. We did not rent a car for the week, but instead walked, took the train and then rented a car by day for a couple of day trips - the apartment is an easy walk from the train station so this was easy and saved us a ton in parking costs. Kim, who cares for the apartment, was incredibly helpful and easy to reach if needed. We had a relaxing and wonderful time and would recommend this to anyone!

  Traveled to Antibes and stayed in Cristian's flat for 2 weeks in mid-June. While it was warm, lively, and fun outside, it was cool and calm inside the apartment. With the large kitchen and living area, we never felt crowded. We had our 10 year old nephew with us and he was comfortable going out on his own to shop in the nearby shops and knew that the apartment was close. We could stand out on the balcony and watch him go into shops and communicate on his own with the shopkeepers. Kim was warm, friendly and so helpful. We loved her! My only complaint was that I had difficulty getting the key to the building to work and because the door is in the middle of the restaurant seating, I felt rushed and anxious. My brother and husband both had the magic touch and didn't usually have difficulty with the unlocking the door. We felt the climb up 3 flights of stairs was good for us but it could be too difficult for those with mobility issues. We would love to come again and stay in Christian's apartment...it's truly in the heart of Old Town!

  My husband & I stayed here for 9 days, The location in the Old Town of Antibes was magnificent. There are so many great restaurants and shops all within walking distance. The public beach is 2 blocks away. With the Provenchal market a block away, we were able to get the freshest fruits, vegetables, and cheese every morning. The apartment is on the 3rd floor with balconies overlooking a plaza with a fountain.The apartment was exactly as it looks in the photos. On the 1st floor is a creperie/ brasserie with their delightful smell. Very tasty crepes,bruschettas and smoothies. We cooked most of our meals in the very well equipped modern kitchen. From the fruit salads, fresh eggs, just baked croissants in the morning, to the french baquette sandwiches for lunch and fishcakes, fish soup, pastas for dinner... then there was the Bordeaux wine. Often there were musicians playing outside,no need to go out for entertainment. But if you did want to go out at night, there were bars along the marina opened late. The marina was great to stroll around at night with quite a few mega yachts to look at. The master bedroom was spacious with an extremely comfortable tempurpedic mattress. Master bathroom has an awesome roman bathtub. The apartment was immaculate. We did have a rental car as my husband was there for business. We were able to park in a garage under the Post office 3 blocks away for 96 Euros for 2 weeks. The owner and his porperty manager were excellent with their communication. This was our frst experience with renting thru VRBO and it was an excellent choice. We highly recommend this property. It was fabulous!

  Hello Christian, Just wanted to drop you a line. We are having a fabulous time and have made ourselves at home in your lovely place. We are in love with Antibes all over again and enjoying literally every minute. We even enjoyed our first night when the VERY LOUD punk band was playing right outside at the flower shop. It was louder than I could've possibly imagined. Luckily they wrapped out around 11pm just in time for the Brazilian drummers to start! What a welcoming. Your place is wonderfully equipped and I've enjoyed cooking here. I love to cook when I'm on holiday without the constraints of the kids and our schedules. I think dinner was at 10pm last night. Anyway, just wanted to tell you how happy we are.

  7 of us stayed in this lovely apartment and had a wonderful time. The apartment overlooks three cafes and is in the center of old town. We could walk everywhere - beach, restaurants, museums, shopping, and just wandering down quaint streets with beautiful flowers. The local open market is minutes away and we took full advantage of this - fresh bread, cheese and fruit every day. The apartment is spacious and has all the amenities you will need. We loved sitting out on the balcony. I would recommend this property to anyone visiting this area of France.

  Christian, Thank you for letting us use your wonderful apartment. We love Antibes and were able to use the train to visit Nice and Cannes as well. Also thank you for advising us not to rent a car. You were absolutely right, a car is not needed. We left a beach umbrella for the other guests to use. Best wishes, Toni and Patrick, Bonnie and Ken. Orange and Long Beach, California.

  Christian, We loved staying in your wonderful apartment! We used it as a base to visit a number of places- Monaco, Eze and St Jean Cap Ferrat. We’ve also eaten our way through Antibes…..and drunk maybe one too many bottles of wine! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! Georgina, John, Charlotte and Winston (the Dog) New York N.Y.

  Dear Chris, Deborah and I have had an incredibly perfect vacation in Antibes and your wonderful home. Thank you for making it available. It has to be one of the “best” spots in Antibes! Everything was perfect, a great base for excursions, exploring (We went to Nice, Cannes, Monaco, St Tropez, Eze, Villefranche) and best of all Antibes- one of the best towns anywhere! We enjoyed the people, restaurants, the Sea and also Kim was great! Love to come again, be sure to consider visiting us in Boston. Thanks Deborah and Tony
