Diva is spacious, light, well equipped, charmingly and richly decorated with opera memorabilia, terrifically well located, and a true home. We stayed for weeks and got more comfortable every day; some days hanging out, eating great food from the wonderful covered market, other days coming back content after excellent restaurant experiences. Gordon is a superb host, thoughtful and helpful in every way possible. This is not just a good place to stay, it's a hard place to leave!

Diva Nimes has the elegance and charm of a bygone era, with its’ spacious rooms, fanciful decor, and impressively high ceilings. There was plenty of space for us, a couple who both needed private work space as well as living space. The multiple bedrooms imply that a much larger group could be accommodated, but I must point out that there is only a single toilet. Like many grand dames, the apartment is showing her age a bit in wear and tear, but nothing that would keep me from giving it a high recommendation. This is because the location is beyond superb. Walk in any direction from the front door and you will be at a major attraction within minutes, if not seconds. This proximity greatly added to our enjoyment of discovering and exploring the delightful city of Nimes.

If you love opera and the arts this apartment is for you...even if you don't it's a great place to stay while in Nimes! Everything you need is right here! The location couldn't have been more perfect...steps to everything in the center of this amazing town! But the best part of this apartment is the host Gordon! He's attentive, interesting and fun! Highly recommend this apartment.

The Diva apartment was largely as represented in the photos and description, and was, in many ways, comfortable and well equipped. I was pleasantly greeted by the owner who provided a tour and a welcome basket of fresh fruit, baguette and other treats.The beds were comfortable and a closet-full of linens made hosting a few visiting friends easy. However, the apartment does need some maintenance, especially several of the French windows and shutters, some of which appear to be warped and will no longer close securely. Minor deficiencies such as loose floor tiles, non-functioning lights, a stained, old kitchen sink, no window coverings in the bathroom, etc also let the place down. The kitchen required a thorough scrub when I arrived and, while it's nice not to have to run out and buy olive oil and other staples on arrival, near-empty bottles of salad dressings and preserves with "best before" dates of three years earlier went straight into the garbage. In fact, garbage was a problem too as, unlike most French apartment buildings, there was no room for garbage and recycling. While there were a few public receptacles in the passageway next door, they were usually full and one had to walk around the downtown area in search of others. But the biggest let-down was the street noise, both the busy main road in front and from the passage beside, which was a main pedestrian route into the large underground parking lot, including large groups of drunk students.

The property is in a great area to access the centre of Nimes and all the Historic sights. There is no air con and some shutters don't work so it does get very warm during late June It is a city location so it is noisy and extra noisy during the music festival, however this is part of the cultural experience.

Gordon's Opera Inspired apartment is certainly quirky, but that just adds to the fun of the visit. It is perfectly located for easy access to all the key locations in Nimes. Gordan and Claudine were great to deal with. A great choice when visiting Nimes.

Every aspect of the apartment pointed to Gordon's love of the opera - from the photos and posters on the walls, to the red and gold curtains in the hall and bedrooms. The beds were comfortable; the kitchen functional (we cooked a lot of meals); the living room spacious with really comfortable couch and chairs. Nîmes is a relatively small town and this location was central. The highlight was the Les Halles market just a few blocks away. Our only complaint was the Wi-Fi only worked in the living room/dining room area.

Perfect location. Excellent apartment. Host was kind and hospitable.
