Great apartment with everything you could need
Review Submitted: September 12, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
In terms of location, the apartment is 5-10 minutes from the old town of Antibes if you're walking along the seafron or through the streets. It's a similar distance if walking through the streets. Proximity to the train station is excellent, it being 1 minute away! There are some restaurants and bars around the apartment, but we tended to eat in the old town as we preferred the atmosphere there. There is a reasonable supermarket (Casino) 5 minutes away, but if you want a bigger supermarket (another Casino), you do need to drive there - it's about 10-15 minutes in the car.
The apartment was perfect for 2 people; any more and it would start to become a little tight for space. There are 2 bunk beds that fold down but I would think they were more appropriate for children rather than adults. The apartment was in immmaculate condition: the little galley kitchen had everything you could need, including a microwave. The living room had a TV & sound system, as well as a laptop with internet access - perfect. The bathroom even had a washing machine if you needed it. Our favourite part was the balcony which overlooked the port - we had breakfasts and dinners there.
The owner was very helpful: he made sure to meet us and show us around despite our late arrival. If there were any problems (we couldn't find a bottle opener), he attended to it promptly. He would check in regularly to make sure all was ok with the apartment, and that we were happy.
There was some confusion and lack of clarity on the administrative side of things at the end of the stay, but both parties were able to resolve the issue in a friendly manner.
Overall, I would recommend this property without a doubt - it's a real find, and made more so by the attentiveness and concern of the owner.
