Nice and the apartment were outstanding. Minh and Jean are the perfect hosts. Minh was extremely helpful to answer all of our questions ahead of time and provided the most perfect apartment for our month-long visit to Nice. Everything was there including beach mats/umbrella, umbrellas (although we didn't have a bit of rain), fully stocked kitchen, linens. The apartment description is very accurate. In addition, we found lots of local information (travel books, train/bus schedules, brochures) in the living room chest. The bedrooms are spacious (super comfortable beds) and the living room very comfortable & relaxing. The view from the balcony and the sea breezes were outstanding. Jean, our on-site manager was so helpful and recommended many good spots for eating and touring. He was always available to help us or answer questions. The apartment is very conveniently located - one block from beach. Butcher on the ground floor, convenience stores/mini grocery store across the street, best coffee in the bar downstairs (I took my coffee cup down to Daniel each morning for the best cup of coffee), best croissants/baguettes in the bakery downstairs as well. A larger grocery store is a block away -- great selection of wine there too. Train station is about a 15 minute walk; Old Town is about a 15 minute walk. We really liked having two bedrooms -- our kids visited for one week and friends from home came another week. It was very roomy for guests. I would recommend this apartment and will return again next year. We took day-trips every day as you can travel by bus to many locations for only 1 Euro. The huge market in Ventimiglia, Italy on Friday was a great adventure too. (12 Euros round trip by train). I give this experience 5 stars!
Owner response:Merci Susie & JJ! We were delighted to have you, and it was great to follow your adventures on your blog! A bientot!

We visited Nice from May 15 - May 22nd, 2011. Words cannot describe the beauty of Nice and the amazing time we had. We walked all over Nice, spent time at the private beach down the road, rented a scooter to see the villages, visited the beautiful village of Eze, rented a boat in Ville de France and had an incredible meal by the seaside, rented a car to go to the Cannes Film Festival, visited a few casinos, enjoyed the food in the restaurants, parasailed together and even drove a Ferrari Modena down the strip of the Promenade! We had an incredible time and the scenery is so breath taking and romantic. The condo was more than we expected. For the amount of time that we were there... it is perfect. It was beautiful sitting on the balcony enjoying a glass of wine, watching the people stroll along at night, or enjoy a pastry first thing in the morning taking in the fresh air. The condo is very comfortable, and the amenities are all there for you. The kitchen has everything... though we ate out, we did enjoy picking up cheese and meat with a fresh baguette and sitting on the balcony. A beautiful job was put in to the apartment making our stay so memorable. It is very cozy and quaint. The people in the neighbourhood are very friendly. We did not have any difficulties communicating with anyone. I cannot thank Minh enough for all of the suggestions, and providing the accomadations to make our trip to Nice memorable, romantic and exciting!!!!!!!!! We felt so welcome, and so at home...even before we got there! I would also like to thank Jean. Very hospitable! Such a bubbly person, making sure we were well taken care of and knew everything there was to know about the apartment and the area. Nice is a beautiful place to be. Those that live there may never appreciate the beauty that Frank & I saw and enjoyed. We truly would love to go back!!!!!!!!!
Owner response:Dear Andrea & Frank Wow, you did so much in a week! Thank you for your review and we hope to have you back soon.

Many thanks to Jean for his invaluable assistance and to Minh for seeing that the apart lacked nothing to make it comfortable. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The bus system is amazing. We enjoyed Antibes & Biot, the Musee Beaux arts, the Place du Monastere & of course just exploring Nice. Take a trip to St Jean Cap Ferrat & walk around the Cap - beautiful walk & views. It has been a great month. Time to say au revoir.

Thanks Minh. Your apt was well stocked, great location & a great place to stay for 2 weeks,. Butcher downstairs was great as well as some of the local restaurants & stores. Monaco, Cannes, Grasse were all great places to visit. Loved the beach in Nice. We hope to be back within the next few years & would rent your apartment again. We had a great experience & will miss Nice. Thanks to Jean for all of his help.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The apt has a bright, cheerful atmosphere. We enjoyed the big windows and balcony. It always provided a 1st class perch to observe the action below,. We loved being so close to all sorts of shops - from grocers to bakers and butchers. The boutiques on rue de France were fun too. One of the best features is the closely seaside, where we put miles & miles on our shoes as we walked daily. We very much appreciated Jean's (on site manager) quick response to any concerns. We really appreciate the wonderful attitude. He is a wonderful asset to this apartment! I just wish our stay had not gone by so quickly!

We have stayed at this rental twice (4 weeks in '07 & 2 weeks in '09), as well as at the owner's rental in Old Nice in '06 (10 days). On each occasion our experience with the units and service (thanks to Jean) were nothing if not superior. Clean, comfortable, well priced, and even better than the pictures show, we would not hesitate to (1) recommend these units, & (2) to return to one or other of these units in the future (as we hope to do later on in 2011)

We have had a wonderful 3 weeks here, have done so much but still had time to wander around and get to know the neighborhood. Monsieur Jean has been most helpful and the apt is wonderfully situated. It has been delightful just sitting on the balcony & watching the world go by.
