We stayed in Nice for four nights in this apartment and it has been an extremely unpleasant stay. To make this review more balance and fair, I will start with the pros. The location was very convenient as it is very central in the old town, with many restaurants and lovely shops around it. The building itself has history and you can fully experience the French style of living. Furthermore, the owner was very responsive host and answered all the calls/ questions promptly.
However, this apartment has many, many cons. Let's start with the noise. Dear Lord- THE NOISE! It was- and I say this without exaggerating- AWFUL! As we live in the middle of a cluster of many restaurants and bars, the noise at night (and day) was unbearable. Drunk shouting, screaming, loud chatter- you name it and we had it all! Even though we shut the windows, it was no help! Second of all, the heat was very bad. Okay, I guess this summer was pretty exceptional as the heat wave had struck Europe, but Nice is a pretty warm place, heat wave or not. Even though fans were provided, they were very old and noisy, definitely not functional enough for summer. Third of all, if you arrived in the evening, you cannot park your car at the entrance of the building to unload the luggage because the area was fully occupied by the restaurants and tables. As a family of 5, we had to push massive luggages up several blocks to reach the building. With all the people milling around the area, it is no easy task. Fourth of all, there are many mosquitoes in the apartment. I trust you all that no explaination is needed. Itchy, hot and sleepless nights are not nice. Finally, we had stayed in 14 vacation rentals across Europe (all self-catering) in this trip and this is the only place that does not provide toilet paper. The owner emphasized that this is a self-catering apartment! So, please remember to bring your toilet rolla when you check in this place next time. Last but not least, I warn you all to STAY AWAY from this apartment unless you are a wild party animal who believes that sleep is not for you!
