Oliver's studio is excellent! One block of the lovely sea, above a 24hs convenience shop and the terrace is so good. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner at it, what saved a lot of money. It's very airy and bright, the sofa-bed does the job well, where you can rest after a lovely day on the beach!
I will definitely stay here again, it's simple but the good location (and the terrace) made it very good value for money!

i must agree with the last reviewer - Nikia. I wasn't expecting a 5 star hotel or even a 2 star but we decided to leave the apartment to find alternative accommodation after the first night. Yes its in a good location convenient to the beach but that doesn't mean you get a view of the beach. The view from the balcony is across at other tiny box appartments but it is quiet away from all the bustle. Basically, its a room with an uncomfortable sofa bed, (with just a sheet to sleep under) small attached kitchen and very basic bathroom with blocked up sink. yes the light sockets have wires exposed and there are three lamps in the main room but none of them worked. There seems to be alot of wee cockroache like insects crawling around and coming up through sinks as well. Richard (our contact in Nice) was very difficult to get in contact with but we were met at the appartment by someone else who was unable to tell us much except hand over the keys. Richard was friendly and understanding when we finally did get to meet him to hand back the keys though. Personally, i do think it is over priced for what you get (we managed to get a lovely hotel room for the same price out in Beau lieu sur Mer which was 10 min train journey away and very beautiful.) if you want basic accommodation near the beach, its perfect but if its comfort your after, way up your options!

Owners Response: I was very disappointed to hear about this negative experience. In the 3 years that the apartment has been rented this is only the second negative feedback we have had. Richard and I are proud of the fact that most rentals are executed well and the tenants enjoy a pleasant stay in the apartment.
In answer to Tomboy1's comments,
There is a view of the beach, not I admit a full unobstructed view but then the apartment is not situated on the 'extremely loud' Promenade des Anglais, instead it is one road behind which makes the apartment very quiet, to the point that you can hear the sea from the terrace. Also the 12m2 top floor terrace is, in our opinion, a wonderful place to spend time whilst in Nice.
The sofa bed is in our opinion, a very good one (having slept on it many times). It does have a hard mattress which may not suit all people but, judging by the fact that in 3 years of rentals it has never been commented on, it is OK for most people.
I am very sorry that the tenants were not warm enough; in fact the apartment has central heating so they should have been warm enough. Blankets have subsequently been purchased but I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
The kitchen and bathroom (in our opinion) has everything one might need, see main section for a list of all inclusions. The sink has been unblocked and I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
All of the electrics in the apartment have been renovated so from now on there should be no loose wires or lights that do not work. Again I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
We are investigating the 'insects' and will ensure that they do not cause a problem again. This has never been mentioned before but I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Richard is a true professional in his work, unfortunately in this case he was on his way back from holidays so he had to delegate to a colleague. I apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
In summary, I am very sorry that Tomboy1 did not enjoy her stay. I am proud of my apartment and in offering a good service to all those who rent it. In this case we did get some things wrong but we will do our utmost to ensure that such experiences do not happen again.
Kind regards,
Oliver

I stayed in this apartment last spring and what a pleasant surprise. I texted Richard from the airport and he met me at our designated time. I got my hair done and a facial just down the street at much better prices than the Zone Pieton. The convenient location is a major bonus to this apartment. I took the bus from the airport and walked over to the apartment. You can get around very easily. We walked to the market in Vieux Nice to get the ingredients for lunch and ate on the terrace. Very quiet at night for recovering from running around all day.
I would recommend this apartment without hesitation.

Regarding a recent review of this property I felt the need to leave my feedback.
This apartment is excellently situated close to the promenade, beach, shops and a very easy journey to/from the airport. When I was there with my two boys (aged 3 and 1) there were no problems with the lift (thankfully!), the blinds worked perfectly and also the hob lights and both hobs were working. With regards to the electrical sockets and light fittings, they are not dangerous at all, if they had been I would have been very worried travelling with 2 small children who like to investigate everything!
The apartment is not 'cheaply furnished' as previously stated, I would suggest that may the previous visitors obviously wanted a 5* hotel without paying for it. This apartment is great, clean, fully functional and with the added bonus of a sea view from the balcony. We had a great time here, I can't recommend it highly enough to others and will definitely be back next summer!

A good location & vacation; not so good apartment |

On the positive side, the apartment is in a good location: easy access from and to the airport; close to the beach, supermarket and much of the city centre. The welcoming bottle of champagne was appreciated, as was the provision of some beach equipment and towels and the provision of two sets of bathroom towels for each person. On departure, the owner’s representative arrived punctually to collect the keys.
However, the lift was prone to malfunctioning (there was notice highlighting this), making the stairs the only reliable method of going to and from the apartment. The apartment was cheaply furnished with a broken shutter to the kitchen window, a loose electrical socket in main room and exposed electrical wiring in the ceiling for two light fittings. There was no kettle, so water had to be boiled in saucepans. One hotplate light did not work, making it difficult to know when hotplate was in use. There was a problems gaining initial access to the apartment (the owner’s representative in Nice could not contacted on the phone number provided, necessitating a phone call to the owner’s UK phone and waiting for someone else to arrive with the keys so that we could gain access to the apartment).

just returned from Nice and cannot recommend this apartment enough , a superb location and surprisingly quiet . The terrace is lovely for relaxing on and has the sun and shade at all the right times , loads of eating places and supermarkets within easy walking distance as is the very clean beach . The only thing I would say against it is that it is probably not large enough for more than 2 people sleeping , buit seeing as there was only 2 of us it was perfect .

Comments from Owner Guestbook |
We had a beautiful holiday in Nice, and we enjoyed staying in your apartment very much. I have already recommended Nice and the apartment to many people. The apartment is beautiful, especially the big terrace.
I think the apartment is very well equipped. We were very happy about the welcome wine, chocolate and fruits.
Also Richard was very helpful every time we called or met him.
We had a lovely time in France, the apartment is lovely
situated so close to the beach and the weather was so
perfect. We enjoyed our time in the apartment, it had
everything we needed, and really appreciated the fruit
basket.
We had a wonderful time in Nice. The apartment is in
a convenient location, a good size and the terrace made for some enjoyable
meals. We were also pleasantly surprised by the bottle of wine and fruit at
our arrival. That's definitely a nice touch.
We'd definitely book the apartment again and recommend it to friends and family.

The apartment has been as per discription. Very close to the beach, to next bus stop, only a few minutes to walk to the old town.
Very friendly and quiet neighbourhood, have been travelling alone and felt very comfortable there. Liked the terrasse very much!
Had a realy good time in Nice.
In this way, sending a smile to Richard, who brought me to the airport, on my last day. Many thanks again : - )
Das Apartment ist wie beschrieben. Nur ein paar Schritte zum Strand, zur nächsten Bushaltestelle und man ist in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß in der Altstadt. Sehr nette und ruhige Nachbarschaft. Ich reiste alleine und habe mich dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Die große Terrasse hat mir sehr gut gefallen.
Ich hatte eine wirklich schöne Zeit in Nizza.
