We had a great time during our month in Nice. The apartment was terrific and the location is the best. Everything needed is just steps away. No need for a car at all. The owners are great and very honest. Also Jean the caretaker makes life easy for you in Nice. We highly recommend the apartment and the location!

Owner response:Thank you Laura and Mike! It was so nice to meet you, we hope to have you back next year. A tres bientot!

I have spent the last two months in this apartment and to stay here was the best choice I could have ever made. First off, the apartment is very spacious. There is lots of room, unlike many others places you will find in Vieux Nice. It has a large bedroom with a comfortable bed. The kitchen was stocked for all of my cooking needs. The living/dining area is open with a large dining room table and is equipped with cable television, a phone (free calling anywhere in the US), and wireless internet. And the apartment is very quiet with soundproof windows. The location of the apartment was perfect for me, being close to everything. In the midst of an active square, I could walk to many great restaurants, cafe's and boutiques, and the daily open market happens every day, beginning about 10:00am and goes until 1:00 or 2:00 in the afternoon, where I could buy fresh fruits, vegetables and also flowers. And there is a local fish market just around the corner. And if you like to shop, like me, there are wonderful retail stores along with a few malls, Galleria Lafayette and Nice Etiole, located just across from Vieux Nice along a pedestrian zone. I walked out my door and in a 5 minute walk through Old Town, I was at the beach. The apartment is also just 5 minutes to the local bus and the tram. And the train station is also in walking distance. This allows you to take amazing day trips to Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat (magical place), Eze, Saint Paul de Vence, Antibes, Menton, Monaco, Cannes, St. Tropez.. and the tram takes you to all the local spots. One of the biggest assets of renting this apartment is the Property Manager, Jean. He was at hand for any information and help that I needed in getting me more familiarized with the Old Town of Nice and its surroundings. And if there was any problem, he was at the door within 10 minutes ready to solve anything. On a personal note, I am staying in Nice for another two months, and I wished I had booked this place for the entire visit. I have had to look at many other apartments in the last few weeks, and there is no question, this is the best place of all. I will be back for sure. Thank you to Jean for all of your invaluable help and thank you Minh for your lovely apartment and giving me two great months in Nice. à bientôt

Owner response:Merci Pamela for your kind words. It was a pleasure to have you as our guest. We are delighted you enjoyed your stay and found interesting places to visit. This apt is indeed in an excellent location to explore the Riviera and Nice. I am very lucky to have Jean as property manager. He is extremely helpful. We hope to have you back soon and wish you all the best. A bientot

We loved the apt. It made us totally independent. We are right in the middle of all that happens in old Nice. Come see us in San Francisco!

What a great holiday in your lovely apt, it is so central to everything. We went to Castel plage in the afternoon most days. The weather, the bread & the wine all great. Thanks

Thank you very much for the great time you offered us. The ideas you gave for a nice time in Nice were very practical. Coming home to your apt, everything was there to spend a relaxing time at home. It will be a pleasure to come back to this place.

Thank you for the use of your lovely apt. The location here in Vieux Nice is absolutely perfect. So close to the beach and transportation and right in the heart of this lovely, charming part of town. We so enjoyed just walking around, poking around the shops, the fantastic restaurants, and of course - the gelato. Thanks especially to Jean for his invaluable help and terrific restaurant recommendations! Unfortunately we never managed to get into "Bistrot d'Antoine" but we'll have that to look forward to our return! We have so enjoyed our stay!

Thanks to Jean (property manager) for all his help. Also, the info you sent was invaluable. We loved being in old town - we walked everywhere and stopped often to eat or drink. We spent a day in Monaco - even in pouring rain it was beautiful! Thank you.

Odd that we live just over the channel & yet this is our first time to Nice! We loved the place and aim to return next year. Nice has everything! We've traveled far and wide and feel most at home here. The apt suited us fine as it was so close to everything - thank you! My 2 boys loved the closeness of the beach. A very safe place. HAD A FAB TIME. THANK YOU.

What a lovely, lovely place! The apt is incredibly charming and right in the heart of things. I just came from Paris and spent about the same per night for a hotel room probably only slightly larger than the bedroom (that may be pushing it!). This place could easily sleep 4-5, although it was really perfect for 2. I absolutely plan on returning and staying here again- only next time, I'll spend more time!

My wife, my daughter and I have just returned from your great apartment in Nice. It was everything I remembered it to be; comfortable, sufficiently spacious, relatively cool and ideally located. Nice and its environs, the great sea and beautiful weather took over from there to provide us with a super vacation. I trust we'll be in touch again.

We just arrived home last night from our stay in Vieux Nice. As expected, we had a terrific time, and the flat was obviously central to the trip's success. It was great; Jean was great and I'd love to plan to return.
