Comments from Owner Guestbook

"We love France, especially the South, and have been coming to this lovely part of the world for a few years. Nice is great - a jewell of a city, no wonder the English "discovered" it in the 19th century and claimed it as their own!

It's such a fun place, pretty and welcoming, and so close to other georgous towns like Antibes, Juan-les-Pins, Villefranche sur Mer and Monaco and Menton. Italy just 45 minutes away - imagine!
We used to stay in hotels and always hired a car, but last Summer we decided to do something different: we found this great 3 bedroom apartment on Rue Raoul Bosio, 2 minutes from the beach, 5 minutes from the bus station, and decided against the car. There is no need for a car if you stay in Nice as public transport is excellent and cheap, but if you must have one, there are many underground car parks nearby. The Old Quarter around the Cours Saleya is vibrant, full of bars, restaurants and nightclubs for the younger generation, and there's the Opera. There is jazz and various music performances almost anywhere you go.

The apartment itself is great, very stylish - a good mixture of old and new. My daughter (19) was quite impressed and said she'd like an apartment like that in London. The beds are comfortable, air conditioning works very well and the doubleglazed windows shut off the outside very effectively. We slept so well, we woke up each day in time for lunch! Booking the apartment was easy. I, too, was weary a little of booking on the internet with people I haven't met before - but it worked very well. The owners, Emmanuelle and her partner are very friendly and flexible, open to suggestions, and really made us feel welcome. We had a great, relaxing time, and definitely will return, even in Winter - we love the Carnival in February/March, and the Lemon Festival in Menton. It's a great base for exploring the coastline and the hills beyond Nice, but also great for shopping - Galleries Lafayette, Gucci and Chanel, Zara and the antiques markets - it's all there. We recommend this apartment to anyone - families with teenagers, or sharing friends. I would say that for optimum comfort, 6 people would be the limit, although there is a sofabed in the living room. We can't wait to get back..."

The apt. was exactly as the web site photos showed it to be. Comfortable beds, fairly equipped kitchen but was more than enough for 3 single guys who ate out every day& night. Great location. It's so close to the tram you can see it from the window. Bus station is right there also. The owners,emmanualle and Christophe are a real class act. I would definitely return. The outdoor farmers market is fabulous and only a block and half away. Everything is right there. It is on the 2nd floor, no elevator though. We enjoyed running up and down the stairs for exercize to work off all the calories we ate.

Our first impression was: oh, a very old house, but the appartment is really modern and lovely. We went there with three teenagers and enjoyed the sunny weather and the Nice Carneval. The appartment is spacious,proper and all things you need are included. There is a parking garage with security cameras just 30 m away, a small supermarket is opposite the house and bakeries only a few minutes away.

Wir haben bereits 2 mal diese Wohnung gemietet, da wir sowohl von der zentralen Lage (Markt, Trambahn, Beach, Restaurants, kleiner Supermarkt gegenüber) angetan waren.

Am besten ohne Auto, da die Parkhäuser sehr teuer sind und man bei dieser Lage auch kein Auto benötigt.

Für die zentrale Lage ist die Wohnung auch sehr ruhig, was wohl auch an den neuen deutschen Fenstern liegt :))).

Insgesamt also sehr zu empfehlen, da man auch wenn ganz Nizza voll ist, seine Ruhe haben kann und alles zu Fuss erledigen kann.

Wir werden sicherlich bald wieder kommen.

My wife and I (and 3 others) have just spent one month in this large, lovely apt. in Central Nice. It's highlights include the closeness to shopping, the beach, the Cours Saleya, restaurants and so much more. The new tram is just outside the door. The apt is bright, spacious, clean, quiet and well equipped. The kitchen is modern with easy to use appliances. Wake up to church bells and the people going to the market. So much to do it takes a month to appreciate it. The owners are accommodating, friendly and very helpful. This is one of two apartments we have rented and would place this one at the top. We travelled extensively on day trips to the many areas near Nice. Hopefully we will return.

This apartment is a must for those who love Nice Old town. All the descriptions of the apartment and amenities in the locale are exactly as stated. The property was very clean, bright and well maintained. I would thoroughly recommend it. You don't need a car to get around as transport links are excellent, especially with the new trams that are now running in the town. Communications with the owner were excellent too - an important factor in setting up the holiday and making it easy all round. So go for it and enjoy!
