Astoria: A Delightful Menton Apartment Building
Review Submitted: June 10, 2008
Date of Stay: May 2008
The apartment is comfortably decorated and altogether homey. It was spotlessly clean, the beds were comfortable and all the appliances worked.The building's caretaker (concierge) was gracious and helpful. While the unit has a fully equiped kitchen, we did not cook much, beacuse sidewalk cafes for your morning cafe au laits and terrific restaurants, bistros and bars for lunch and dinner were all just a short (and lovely) walk away. There are numerous places to dine along the beach promenade and in the picturesque Old City about 5 blocks away. The walk is part of the fun. And of course the beautiful blue of the Mediterranean is practically at your doorstep. For our group of four, the best feature was being able to unpack and set up home base for our week of of touring all of the hillside villages within easy driving distance -- both in France and Italy. This unit offered the perfect combination for serious sightseeing, delicious foods and wines, and pure relaxation at the beach. Rainy day? No worries, the unit had a flat screen television, cableTV, a CD player, a DVD and a collection of films and books. A travel tip: finding street parking can be dicey. Our solution was to use the underground lot just east of the Casino. It was safe and secure, a few blocks from the unit, and even cheaper than feeding the parking meters every 3 hours. Would we go back? In a New York Minute!
