The location of the apartment is perfect in the centre of the town with wonderful views of the bay. Restaurants, shops and the train station are all a few minutes walk away making it the perfect place to base yourself to explore the Cote du azure either by train or bus. The host was extremely helpful and on hand via text if we had any issues orquestions. Overall we had a great stay and would recommend the apartment.

Great location to restaurants, beach, mini mart and transportation. Clean rooms a/c modern kitchen/LR and beach supplies. Low ceiling in second balcony bedroom not ideal for adults. This lodging better for 2-3 persons. Narrow entry and stairwell can be challenging.

Host attentive - but there were issues with apartment - air con in main area not working host knew but did not inform us before our visit - stairs to apartment extremely steep and light outside apartment door not working so ended up doing steep stairs in dark until you got to lower automatic light - apartment needs a little more attention to detail. Would like to be met at apartment by a person not just everything done by a message to a representative who did not answer our concerns whilst at apartment- ie no air con in main area. Apartment is well located.

The apartment was in a very good location with fabulous views. The stairway up to those third floor views was a bit difficult, especially when carrying luggage or after a long walk in the heat. Only suitable for extremely fit folk I’d say.

Beautiful apartment in the heart of old town. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. The property manager, Vanessa was professional and very helpful with recommendations and suggestions. The only issues for us :Not enough lighting in the main bathroom.The mattress coverings are some sort of rubberized covering which made the bed hot and noisyThe stairs leading to the apartment are challenging, they are very steep and narrow.Overall a great location.

The place was ideally located. Close to transportation and right in the heart of old town. The stairway to the 3rd floor was not really mentioned on the preview. It was a tough climb for my wife and I who are in our sixties, trying to take up two 20 kilo suitcases was a challenge.

Darling apartment, excellent location and beautiful view. Extremely responsive hosts. Knocked off a few stars because of the steep, winding stairwell to get into the apartment. Tricky with suitcases and old knees. The coffee machine wouldn’t work and we ran out of toilet paper. Hosts were very responsive, but those are essentials for any traveler. Other than those minor issues, it was an ideal place to stay and I would definitely stay again! Clean, cozy, great communication, and you can’t beat the location and view.

Fantastic location. The property was clean and had a good sized main bedroom with en-suite, kitchen and lounge. Upstairs is a pretty tight squeeze and has limited head height, but we managed.My family thoroughly enjoyed staying at the apartment and loved being so close to the sea front, old town and bars and restaurants.

Once inside the apartment it was lovely- beautiful view, comfortable bed, good facilities and right in the centre of all the restaurants and bars.BUT- the staircase up 3 floors is LETHAL, very narrow, uneven steps, insecure handrails and sensor lighting that often doesn’t activate until you’ve actually plunged into the abyss. I feel this should really be mentioned in the description. Vanessa who welcomed us, was lovely, very helpful and helped with our luggage- it was very tricky to get it up all the stairs. I couldn’t fault her and she accommodated our check in and out requests. But it must be stated how dangerous the stairs are and how tricky it is to get in through the outside door. Perhaps best suited to fit(slim) young couples but not children or older less agile people. So please mention this in the booking details . Otherwise we loved our stay

The location of this apartment is top notch. Easily sleeps family of four. Easy train access to Monaco and Nice (& the rest of the Riviera). Host communication was good and they were accomodating to our asks. Would (will) most likely come back again.

A beautiful spot and a beautiful stay

The pictures perfectly represented the apartment; it was light-filled, clean, and filled with amenities. The location could not have been more perfect, as is clear by the windows.Our host communicated with us in depth about the check-in process and even sent us videos on how to use the various keys. It was a wonderful stay and if I'm ever back, I'll be sure to stay again.
