Reviews of Property: Stylish modern 2 bed apartment in the heart of Nice

This is our second stay in this apartment. It is ideally located between the city centre and the beach It is a short walk to the train station and a short and cheap bus journey to the airport. It was spotlessly clean and we didnt want for anything. An abundance of shops and supermarkets nearby and a launderette. The owner kept in touch in the lead up to the holiday and provided detailed instructions of how to get there and who would meet us with the keys, etc Simply the most wonderful place to stay . Thank you.

My son, husband and I were in Nice in June 2009 and stayed in La Bonne Vie apartment. Nice is a great place for a holiday because it has all the attractions of a city break (museums, galleries, good public transport, restaurants, shops etc) and it has its own character (interesting history, architecture and a lovely setting) and we found people friendly. It is also easily accessible to the airport and to other places of interest- both along the Cote d'Azur and inland to other places in Provence. Additionally, the weather and the coast mean you can swim in the sea and, if it’s your thing, sunbathe on the beach. The apartment is well situated with two supermarkets within 3 or 4 minutes walk, a market with fresh fruit, vegetables, cheese etc a similar distance away and the La Fagola Patisserie (be prepared to put on weight because their fresh croissants and baguettes, to say nothing of their pastries, are irresistible) just a few steps away at the corner of the road the apartment is situated. The Promenade des Anglais and beach is only 5 minutes walk and the centre and old town are within a pleasant 15 to 20 minutes stroll, either along the Promenade des Anglais with its attractive belle époque buildings and (pricey) open air restaurants and cafes or through streets lined with Neapolitan ice cream coloured buildings. If you take this route you can stop off for a rest and enjoy the beautiful vividyly coloured flowering plants in a little park on the Rue de la Buffa. The apartment is comfortable and because it's not in a purpose built holiday apartment building you feel you’re really in France. Moreover, staying in self-catering is so much more relaxing than a hotel. We enjoyed taking the open top bus tour (great views and a welcome cool breeze) up to Cimez, going to Cannes by train and visiting the Musee d'Art Moderne et d'Art Contemporain and the Palias Massena (time your stay right and you can benefit from free entrance to the city's museums). One suggestion I would offer would be to take the bus from the airport rather than a taxi. The bus costs 4 euros whereas a taxi cost us 40 euros. It is a fairly short journey and there is a bus stop on the Promenade des Anglais close to the apartment – the stop is called Gambetta Promenade (have a look on google maps and print off directions and you’ll have little bother finding the apartment from the bus stop). We would go back to Nice and to La Bonne Vie!

Great location right beside the bakery, supermarket and only minutes to the beach. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. We had a one year old with us and the cot provided was excellent. The bus stop was only minutes away and took you to Cannes and Monaco for 1 euro!! So many resturants close by too. We found it quite in the evening so no problems sleeping. The property was very clean and well maintiained. You were also meet by the manager who showed us how everything worked in the apartment, very helpful!! Am going to book this for my parents and my in laws for next year!!! Can't wait until we can go again!!
Thanks Emma, Marty and Ben

We really enjoyed our stay at this apartment. It is located a mere minute from the beach and walking distance from the old city. There are supermarkets and bakeries throughout the neighborhood. The apartment was clean and spacious even for 6 people.

We lived 6 people in this apartment. We rented apartment first time in such way, but finally everything was perfect. Apartment has good location in city, near shops, sea, bus stops. It is located in quiet place.
We found everything what we expected and even more.
Please, read the Guest book, you can find very useful information in there how to travel cheaper, where to eat, etc.

Hope you also will have good time in this apartment.

I stayed here with a couple of friends and thought it was an excellent place to explore Nice from... the building was very 'french' in style, and the apartment was spacious and modern and had everything we needed. I would recommend it! (and indeed have done - my parents stayed here and loved it too).

The property was very well maintained with.very good facilities for self catering including a washing machine. The decor was light and modern.The location of the property was ideal being near the Promenade but without the traffic noise. Ideal for walking around Nice as every thing I.E the market, resturants. shops, railway and bus are all within walking distance, so no car is needed to get around or visit other towns on the Riveria.The owner gave a confident customer service, providing a manager to greet us on our arrival which was very helpful. Overall a very good appointed, centrally located apartment, which i would recommend.

I spent three nights on the Riviera in this apartment in August 2008 and had a great experience. The place is located just a couple of blocks off the beach (not extremely close to the popular old town area of Nice, but still just a 10- or 15-minute walk away). Even though it was high tourist season, we had no problem finding space at the beaches right by the apartment. The place was very clean and spacious, including the bathroom, which can be rare in France. The place was stocked with a few things we never would have thought to bring on our own (beach mats, for example). There was no air conditioning when I stayed so if that's a deal breaker for you, then be sure to inquire. There were fans, however, so we were just fine. The washing machine was a nice feature as well, and my clothes dried pretty quickly just hanging out in the sun and on the towel racks in the apartment. For the money, this was a great place!
