MAGIC VIEW IN THE OLD NICE

Apt is located in a terrific area of Nice: old town charm; close to tram (which connects directly to train station), restaurants, Parc de Chateau, beach, etc. We also comfortably walked to Chagall and Matisse museums - probably a mile and a half each way.

Just a few things to be aware of:

-it is a busy location and double-glazed windows do a remarkable job of keeping out the noise. We do carry and did use a white noise machine to filter out the rest. Recommended.

-The apt could use black-out shades in the bedroom. It's fairly bright all night long.

-It would be good if toilet paper and soap were provided. One arrives at 17:00 hrs in an unfamiliar city and have to immediately find a couple of essentials.

-Val is a nice guy, but don't expect him to meet you at the apt when you arrive (checked our earlier emails and this was the arrangement) or to be on time to check the place out when you leave. You have to be prepared to contact him via phone or email.

-Val is very prompt in returning the damage deposit.

The above are not criticisms so much as things I would want to be aware of before arriving.

In summary, this is a great apt in a great location. We hope to stay here again.

This apartment is located in Place Rossetti, one of the liveliest and best locations in Vieux Nice. Only a few minutes walk to the beach, five minutes to Place Massena, so really an ideal location. It's very modern, well appointed and maintained. Being in the old city the rooms are large with high ceilings, and some of the original features have been retained (internal doors and ornate painted ceiling in the kitchen).Nice modern bathrooms, kitchen and good A/C and Wi-Fi. Excellent new double glazed sound proofed doors leading onto the 2nd floor balcony, so you get peace and quiet at night even when the square below is packed with tourists enjoying the ambience.

Pleased to say that we enjoyed our two week stay (our thirteenth holiday in Nice) and am happy to recommend to others.

The apartment is in the heart of the old village, just minutes from the beach and steps away from cafes, restaurants, shopping, the farmers markets, etc. Everything was very clean and we had everything we needed. Val provides towels for the beach, kitchen with pots, pans, salt/pepper/olive oil, etc. Air conditioning and wifi both work great. We didn't find the noise outside at night to be bothersome at all, but I do come from NYC so a bit of street noise is something I'm used to. Val responded to all communication quickly and was available during our stay (although we never needed anything) and close by. I would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to others.

Val’s apartment is without doubt, one of the best apartments we have stayed in across VRBO/airbnb/stayz/homeaway etc during our many travels throughout the world. It is ideally situated above an open square that is close to everything and everywhere you might want to do or see.

It is large, spacious, light and airy. There is a separate room for the kitchen, a separate room for the living/eating and a separate bedroom. Plus two complete – toilet, sink, shower (strong, hot water) – bathrooms. Plus a balcony overlooking the square – ideal for eating breakfast bought fresh from the nearby market.

The apartment is very well provisioned with a (like) nespresso coffee maker, a washing machine, 2 TVs (living and bedroom), a music dock and even umbrellas and mats for the (stone) beach.

There are 33 stairs up to the apartment but it is Europe and it is certainly worth the effort to get there.

Val was very quick to respond to texts.

If we are ever fortunate enough to be in Nice again, we hope we will be even more fortunate enough to rent Val’s apartment again
