my husband and i stayed at this apartment for two weeks in september of 2022. i’m a difficult traveler but this place was amazing! it fulfilled several of my key points that i’m looking for when reserving a rental. we booked a year in advance and had great communications with tamsin, the host. once we arrived on cap ferrat we met with her at the apartment. she was amazing and very helpful throughout our stay.
the place has two bedrooms - bright throughout the day but can be made very dark during the night. each has its own quiet air conditioning and features super crisp linen. the bedrooms are in the back of the apartment and therefor quiet (though, for a couple of days we had noisy neighbors). beds were extremely comfortable, blankets in duvet covers and plenty of pillows.
the kitchen was amazing. sparkling silverware, glasses and plates. dishwasher, compact microwave. the refrigerator didn’t cool particularly well but it was fine for us. we did not use the stove but it looked like new. many cooking utensils and machines. plus a small efficient, very quiet washing machine (the 30 minute program cleaned our clothes perfectly).
the bathroom adjacent to one of the bedrooms is big, has a tub/shower, toilet and sink. there is another, smaller bathroom right next to the second bedroom with a shower and sink and another small room with a toilet and tiny sink. all clean and in good working condition.
the view from the balcony is - obviously - spectacular! right on a street but we never felt bothered by noise. lots of people were walking by. we spend much time on the balcony and after a while the metal chairs felt a little uncomfortable. note that the a/c compressor is on the balcony. every time the a/c inside ran, the compressor outside made noise. not loud but we ended up turning the a/c off while sitting on the balcony to enjoy the calming sound of the harbor.
there is creative lighting throughout the apartment, nice for producing different moods. comfortable sofas, huge foot rest, dining room table (some of the heavy dining chairs were worn and wobbly). a few too many things standing around in the living and kitchen area that we moved to make space for every day things, like keys, loose money, laptop, books… keyless entrance into the building and easy walk up to the apartment (maybe 10 steps). beaches, restaurants, shops are in ridiculously close proximity to the apartment.
we would book again!
