Lovely apartment with beautiful view of sea from balcony/sitting room
The apartment was very clean and with many amenities that you need when on holiday. The kitchen was well equipped with pots, pans, cutlery, dishes and utensils, and even some condiments that other people had left which is very useful not having to purchase say, salt and pepper. There is a washing machine, dishwasher and a full size fridge freezer. The flat has a/c which is essential as when we were there the weather was hot, but not hottest! There are two bathrooms, both with showers which would be helpful if there with a family. The balcony is ideal for meals and drinks out. The view is stunning, although, Promenade des Anglais below is a busy thoroughfare. The beach is excellent and the Med is very popular with swimmers. Take sandals for the pebbles as they can be quite sharp when entering and leaving the water,
When we arrived we met Anna, Phillipes' agent who was tremendously helpful and told us all we needed to know about the apartment and how things in it (and some outside of it) worked. Also if you have any questions you can phone or message Anna Thank you Anna!
The apartment is maybe a 1 mile walk from the old town but closer to some great places like Place de Massena which has BIG shops like Galleries Lafayette, Rolex etc and is also the centre for trams. Outside the apartment lots of buses stop so you could use these if you wished.
We took the open top bus, Grand tour which gives really good insights into Nice and also goes to Ville Franche which is lovely. There are many beautiful places to visit, so this is a good centre for your visit to Nice.
There are extra fees for cleaning etc. to pay when you arrive, which are not mentioned on the website so this is why the 4* rating as we did not discover this until we paid and the fee is non- refundable. I think the apartment is probably worth the cost, especially for 4 people (We were 2 but wanted it that way) just mention these payments up front, its nicer to know in advance. All in all, very clean very, well equipped, central, near the beach, beautiful views and a balcony and very well managed. It's a great choice for a holiday in Nice...
