About this apartment rental
Located right in the heart of Nice Old Town (“Le Vieux Nice”), we offer a stylish and inviting apartment for travellers wishing to immerse themselves in the most authentic and vibrant part of town while being 2mn away from the shimmering waters of the Mediterranean and the famous Promenade des Anglais.
Recently renovated to a very high standard, our 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, fully air-conditioned apartment successfully blends original features and traditional French furniture with contemporary kitchen design and appliances, making it a rare find in this sought-after neighbourhood. The high ceiling and windows with their original wooden shutters are graceful reminders of the building ancient past, and allow guests to enjoy magnificent views over the Prefecture Palace and its yellow stucco façade, beautifully lit at night.
In keeping with our prestigious surroundings, we have furnished the apartment with an eye for elegant details (wooden floor, floor-length linen curtains, mirrors and chandeliers) and chosen the equipment to make our guests’ stay as comfortable as possible. From hotel quality mattresses and bed linen to top of the range Italian kitchen and appliances (De Dietrich) and air-conditioning throughout, we hope that our guests will feel at home from the minute they step in.
• Living & cooking
Each piece of furniture has been meticulously chosen with the lifestyle of the discerning traveller in mind, whether enjoying an espresso at the bar, a glass of wine on the sofa or a gourmet meal at the wooden dining table.
Our brand new and fully equipped kitchen is a cook’s dream, with first-class appliances by De Dietrich, ample selection of crockery, large storage space, a very large worktop and a few recipe books.
There are endless dining and entertainment options just down the street but after a long day at the beach or spent exploring the area; you might choose to sink into our comfortable sofa and watch a movie or your favourite series from our selection of channels or Netflix.
• Sleeping & bathing:
All bedrooms have air-conditioning units and hotel-quality mattresses to guarantee our guest maximum comfort.
Bedroom 1: king-size bed (180x200cm),

WHY STAY IN THE OLD TOWN?
The Old Town is the historical and touristic heart of the city, its most iconic and vibrant district. Nowhere else in Nice will travellers experience the eclectic feel of this charming pedestrian neighbourhood bustling with local cafes, bars and gourmet restaurants, lively nightlife, colourful food and flower markets, charming local shops, artisans and galleries. It offers endless opportunities to wander the meandering streets and alleyways bathing in the warm hues of the numerous heritage buildings and sacred architecture.
Its unique central location enables visitors to go back in time while being only a few minutes walk away from the seafront activities, whether a romantic stroll along the world-famous Promenade des Anglais or a dip in the intense blue waters of the Mediterranean.
For those tempted to venture further, the tramway stops a few minutes away from the apartment, providing easy access to other parts of Nice and from there to all the major cities and attractions of the French Riviera.

More than glad to recommend this lovely apartment! We (family of four with young adult kids) stayed almost a week in August.
The location is fantastic. In old town, its a short walk to the beach. Shopping, restaurants and bars are right downstairs. There is some nightlife noise.
The apartment is clean and comfortable. The air conditioning is great. The kitchen is well stocked.
The managers are very good. They proactively communicated, providing us with local info. They responded quickly to requests.
We look forward to returning to Nice!

The house is lovely and had everything you need. It was really hot when my family and I went so thank goodness for all the air conditioning units in each room as well as one in the living area.The location is superb. The host and property manager are super accommodating and is good in responding to messages. All in all would recommend

Great city apartment in a Great Location. Walk to morning cafés and evening dinners. Busy street with some noisy nights but the host supplied ear plugs and we had enough to do during the day to sleep well. Train was easy to access for day trips or getting to/from airport.
Plenty of home accessories including laundry supplies, hair dryers and kitchen ware. Beautiful living area to relax with extra touch of fresh flowers and a bottle of wine.
Air conditioning in every bedroom and main living area with remote controls...nice touch.
We enjoyed our stay with 6 adults.
thanks Jane!

We have been to Nice several times. We LOVE it! We always stay in the Old Town. Our kids enjoy the hustle and bustle and we like the proximity to the beach. Karine's property is wonderful! A five out of five!

Great location in old town Nice.walking distance to beach, bars, and restaurants. Well appointed apartment. Comfortable beds. Comfortable furniture. There are one floor of stairs that was not disclosed. The elevator in the listing goes from first floor up. Also, there are three Irish pubs very close to the unit which are very loud until at least 1 or 2 in the morning. Again, not disclosed. Ear plugs were provided.

Lovely apartment in the old town Nice. Very central for everything. The only problem was one of the showers was flooding onto the floor of the bathroom. I informed the owner and the manager but didn't hear back from them.

A group of 6 women (all over 45) on a long weekend to Nice. The apartment was just fab. Really nice decoration, one bathroom per bedroom, very comfortable beds (and quality bedding and pillows) and the location is amazing (right where you want to be). The only negative is it's very noisy due to being located on a busy street so some of our party struggled with the noise at night - but we knew that would be the case as you can't have that location and expect it to be quiet! The communal hallway and stairs smell of damp (again can't expect anything different as it's a lovely old building in the historic part of Nice!) and someone with health issues or who's elderly may struggle with getting suitcases up the communal stairs but none of that bothered us. We LOVED our stay in this apartment and would stay again/highly recommend it. I would also highly recommend Carmela (outside table) and Bocca Nissa (roof terrace) in Nice for dinner. Le Galet for lunch on the beach and beach beds for the day (you can book a table for food but if you want a beach bed turn up at 9am to grab one for the day). Mayssa Beach roof terrace in Villefranche for dinner. A trip to Saint Paul de Vance (get there early and have lunch after wandering around). We had lunch at Le Tilleul (service was so so but the food was amazing as was the location) or you could go to La Colombe d'Or for a little bit of history/old school glamour. With all these recommendations you definitely need to book way in advance!

We had so much fun staying at the apartment during carnaval. It’s located to all the action. It can get a bit noisy but the earplugs did the trick. Just a little walk to the prom and easy access to the tram. I would come back and stay again. Communication was great. The building is have some beautification performed inside but it didn’t affect our stay. Thank you so much for a lovely place to stay.

There are everything. I cooked about twice a day. We could use washing machine and microwave and oven. The laundry is also comfortable. It's spacious and beautiful.
Karine and Sara are very kind! We had a lot of support.
This area was good place, safe and convenient.
When I was confused with riding on the train or bus, Nice people taught me gently!
People's hearts and scenery were beautiful and I was very moved!

Overall, I would recommend this apartment.
Location: This property has a great location. It’s in Old Town and you are very close to everything. I felt like we really lucked out on location. So many great restaurants around us. You must go to Maison Barale for their handmade ravioli. It’s right around the corner. There is a lovely wine store across the street. A chocolate shop a few steps away. Tons of restaurants nearby. Oui Jelato (they sell gelato) is a few steps away.
The Property: The apartment is renovated, tall ceilings and has all modern amenities. It is very nicely decorated, spacious and comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked. The beds are comfortable. Great water pressure. The common areas (which the host has no control of) is not as nice. The building is shared with commercial tenants like lawyers offices so it’s very quiet. However, because of the location, expect some noise. The host offers earplugs. There was also an apartment under renovations below us and it was noisy but we were up and ready to explore Nice, so who cares.
Communication: The property manager we met, Sarah Jane was delightful and she was very responsive when we had an issue come up. Karine provided an e-booklet of things to do while in Nice and we took both up on several suggestions and were very pleased. A few days prior to arrival they reached out and provided check-in information.

Me and my family of 4 (2 young kids) plus a set of grandparents stayed here in August of 2023 and had a wonderful time.
Place is exactly as described and as it appears in pictures. Conveniently located in old town. A short walk to grocery stores, farmer's markets, tram/bus stops, and the beach. We have stayed at the apartment next door 10 years ago and loved it there so much that we were lucky to find this apartment when we learned it was booked (and we booked in the winter 2022).
Kitchen is fully equipped - we hardly ate out.
Situated on a bar strip, so can be noisy at night during peak season but property manager provides ear plugs for those light sleepers. My 5 and 8 year old's still slept through the nights. Communication with manager was fair. Was a little disappointed that we did not have Netflix considering the cost we paid for our stay. It was problematic for my kids but luckily the wifi offset the lack of tv entertainment and we spent most of our time at the beach anyway. We travelled to many nearby towns considering the proxmity of the bus stops. Lots of great boulangeries nearby and some even worth the trek up town a bit. Host provides a guide of reco places and what's nearby which came in handy. Would stay here again.
6.0 / 10.0
The space is great. The decor is beautiful. However, if you are a light sleeper, this is not the place for you. We stayed for 10 nights and maybe got two full nights of sleep. There are bars and restaurants close to the condo. All night there is loud partying going on. There was also a weird leak, which was communicated to the property manager. All in all we did have a fabulous stay. Just some things for future guests to be aware of.

This 3 bedroom, 3 bath apartment is spacious and very comfortable. The kitchen is well supplied to prepare meals although the location is SO convenient with cafes, restaurants and bakeries that one doesn’t have to!!! Close to the market and all types of shopping. Just a couple of blocks from the lovely beach. We want to return!

This apartment is fantastic if you are wanting to stay in the historic part of Nice. So well appointed. Ultra clean. Everything we needed.
Only part we didn’t like was the rowdiness of the people during the night - walking up and down the street. We felt safe but it was just noisy.
Otherwise will stay again for sure.

Sara the property manager was lovely. Great to deal with! We required a few items and she was very responsive and helpful.
If you’re not from the area, I would definitely ask which train station to exit when arriving to the property. This would be helpful.
The property is in a very popular part of Nice and the noise level is high in the evening. They do supply earplugs and fans which is helpful to block some of the noise.
The apartment is handy and close to everything.
Air conditioning is lovely, the best part it is included in every room!
The supply of beach Towels was excellent and appreciated.

Lovely apartment located centrally in Old Nice. The apartment had everything we could have needed and thoughtful extras. The location was perfect for being in the heart of everything in Old Nice and easy to walk to restaurants and explore such a cute town. The only thing to keep in mind is because it was on a “hoppin” road with some bars, there was noise on the street late into the night - but they provided ear plugs so it didn’t interfere with our sleep.

We were three couples who stayed six nights in Karine’s apartment. She was easy to communicate with and quick to answer any questions. Sara Jane, the property manager, met us when we arrived and was very helpful with useful information about the surrounding area. The apartment is perfectly located in the heart of the whole town providing easy access to all amenities and transportation. The apartment was beautifully appointed and very spacious. The kitchen and bathrooms were very modern while maintaining the character of the historic property. We appreciated having the privacy of our own full bathroom connected to each of the three full bathrooms. The street noise was pretty loud at first but we quickly became used to it. We would highly recommend this apartment.

A lovely flat in the heart of Nice, beautifully situated to explore the city and beyond. It was immaculately clean when we arrived, and had everything we needed for a short stay. Very comfortable and spacious apartment. We didn’t experience the noise issued mentioned in other reviews, but we styed Sunday to Wednesday so it was relatively quiet. It would have been good if there were shower gel included with the shampoo and cream, but this was a minor oversight.

Perfect place to base from. The only suprise was you had to walk up one floor before the elevator was available. One of the reasons we rented was it was advertised as an elevator property which we thought would be available from the entrance to our quarters.
