Attractive apartment in Nice

This is a lovely, well appointed apartment in a good location in Nice.
It is on a quiet side street with the bedroom overlooking a rear courtyard so noise at night is minimal.
It is situated away from the main tourist area around Place Messina and the old town but near enough to be able to dip in and out of it . It is about ten minutes walk from the Promenade des Anglais, fifteen minutes from Place Messina and the railway station and about twenty minutes walk to the bus station - an ideal location for a lot of activities.
The description of the apartment was accurate and we were not disappointed. It was very clean and well maintained. The owners, Peter and Sue, are friendly, approachable and accomodating and they try their best to satisfy your requirements. We like to think we have become friends as a result of our stay.
One of the attractions of the apartment for us was the balcony, which faces the evening sunshine until it drops behind the building opposite- we were able to eat (and drink!) until quite late without feeling the need to go indoors.
Another attraction is that the apartment is located in a part of the city which enables visitors to meet and mix with the local residents - great for practising your French, which incidentally is much appreciated by the local shopkeepers. It is possible to use small specialist shops or the supermarket, which is about a ten minute walk.
I would definately recommend this apartment to a friend. This was our first visit to Nice and the fact that we loved it had a lot to do with this apartment and the people who own it.
