    Great location and nice owner, but Wifi was down

    Very lovely apartment in an ideal location. Overall, we had a great experience, however the apartment was missing Wifi for 3 out of 4 days. This seemed to be a temporary issue, but it still impacted our stay. It was also missing detergent for the washer. Given it is located above a popular square, the noise level at night can be high, but that's to be expected given the location. Overall we had a great stay.

    Fantastic Location for Our Family!!!

    My family and I absolutely loved our stay in this Colona apartment. It was clean, comfortable, and located just minutes from absolutely everything we wanted to see! It bares mentioning that we are a family with four young children and the layout of the apartment gave us the ability to put all of the kids in one room and my husband and I to have our own room. The terrace also provided a nice afternoon escape during "nap time" where we could have a glass of wine and not worry about waking our kids. Finally, the property manager was great and very easy to reach if ever we had need. We will definitely stay here again if we return to Nice!

    A fabulous apartment in a great location!

    This is apartment is simply amazing. It's central location is just perfect for exploring Nice and everything is on your doorstep. The apartment is a decent size with a small kitchen, kitted out with good size wine glasses and everything you would need! There is an ensuite shower to one bedroom and then another bathroom with a toilet and a shower. The apartment was really clean and all linen and towels were provided. The outside area was great to sit in and relax. The owners were really helpful and informative. The air con was a welcome addition as we seemed to be in Nice on the hottest weekend this year! We would all recommend this apartment. There is also another apartment next door should your group be bigger.

    Fabulous View and Fabulous Location

    Great location in the heart of Old Nice! Super clean with all the amenities and recently renovated. Older building but don't let the outside fool you. Inside is perfect! You can walk anywhere - shops, dining, stores, beach, gardens.... The property manager Dermot was awesome! Gave us plenty of tips for parking, trip to Villefrance Sur-La-Mer (OUTSTANDING!), restaurants. He was super responsive! Loved the place, loved the location, and my wife loved the washer/dryer!

    perfect location

    The place was nice and clean. The rooms were big and roomy with air conditioning. The best part is it is perfectly located in Old Town. The knives need to be sharpened, more paper towels etc., should be provided, but those are all trivial issues. Oh and it has a washer and dryer, and I think the ad says it has only a washer. That helps a ton. Thus, I would definitely recommend the place to my friends and family. The only real downside are the steps one needs to take to get there. That might cause problems for some folks. Overall though, it was a great and clean spot in a perfect location.

    A NICE APARTMENT IN OLD NICE

    The apartment is set right in the heart of Vieux Nice, very close to all the typical shops and restaurants and also to the famous Promenade des Anglais. It's just a few minutes' walk from the tramway stop and very easy to reach also walking directly from the station. The apartment is nice and spacious: we have enjoyed the brightness of the rooms and the tasty frunishings. The kitchen is quite well equipped and the crockery/cutlery is suitable for four/five people. It is evident that the apartment itself has been recently renovated and this is good. What we didn't like is the entrance to the building and the steep flight of stairs, whose walls are quite dirty and bleak. We think the apartment would greatly benefit from a general refurbishment of the building itself. It would also be advisable to fix the shutters: the one in the master chamber is half-broken and the others aren't easy to close. We undestand they are old, like most building in this part of Nice, but a bit of refurbishment to the fittings would be appreciated. All in all we have enjoyed the flat and we would recommend it, especially for its superb location. Finally, we would like to say that the boy in charge of the flat was very kind and tried to help us with everything, before and during the stay and we really thank him for this.

    Beautiful apartment in amazing location

    The apartment had a very French feel to it and was ideally located for exploring the old town and accessing the beach. It was equipped well with everything you could need. We were particularly thankful for the air conditioning and even the sun umbrella for taking to the beach with the heat so intense! Brooke could not have been more helpful throughout - always available to answer any questions which was very reassuring. With our French being rusty, it was good being English speaking that she understood us! Also she was extremely kind, even getting a bottle of wine on arrival for our daughter & fiancé who had recently become engaged. Highly recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Nice - we had an awesome time. Thank you!

    Super old Nice location in a spacious, and comfortably updated apartment.

    Terrific central location in old Nice. Near everything, so start walking. Spacious, updated apartment is well-lit and ventilated thanks to large view windows and patio. Street sounds are part of the ambience, so enjoy the flavor! Good kitchen and large common area for relaxing, eating, partying. Brooke, the manager, was very attentive and an excellent communicator. (She’s from New Jersey — who knew?). Typical ancient building without elevator. Loved it!

    Amazing location!

    This flat is amazing. It is beautiful and in a perfect location. Brooke was very accessible and knowledgeable. I texted her a few times to ask questions (not about the flat) and she was prompt and helpful. She was great! The flat is large, well equipped and very comfortable. Great location, easy walking to everything we wanted to see and do. It’s a very lively location with lots of restaurants and shops within steps of the apartment. Old town is a great place to be! We would definitely stay there again.

    Lovely spacious apartment and very central bustling location

    The apartment and location exceeded our expectations and I would recommend this property if you would like to be in the heart of Nice Old Town. We were well looked after by 'Brooke' who managed the property and communication was great throughout. Plenty of time was taken to show us around the 3rd floor apartment and the facilities, and to answer any questions. There is also a great little outside space, and a front facing standing room only window balcony giving views of the busy roads and public square below. Fantastic sounds and smells all day! You will definitely hear the sound of the church bells every day and the bustling crowds from late morning to night time, and this is what we were looking for, however, the windows are very sound proof if you do wish to block everything out. I would recommend this apartment and I will no doubt visit one of Brooke's Nice based apartments again.

    Mittendrin statt nur dabei

    Vor Ort sieht es genauso aus wie auf den Bildern, geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Die Wohnung ist mitten in der Altstadt. Keine weiten Wege zum Schlosshügel, Strand, Parks und der Neu-Stadt. Der Bus Nr. 12 vom Flughafen hält fast vor der Tür. Die Wohnung ist ein Block vom ehemaligen Hauptplatz der Altstadt entfernt. Viele Lokale und Läden vor der Tür und in unmittelbarer Nähe. Allerdings sind Ohrstöpsel hilfreich. Die Kirchenglocken an Werktagen um 7:00 Uhr genau gegenüber. Eigentlich 24 Stunden Müllentsorgung, wenn die Müllwagen nachts rückwärtsfahren kann es länger piepen und das Einladen verursacht durchaus auch Lärm. Jede Nacht bzw. frühe Morgenstunden in denen grölende Horden, die durch Altstadt ziehen und morgens werden bereits wieder die Sonnenschirme und Stühle der Restaurant aufgestellt. die abends natürlich auch wieder weg müssen. Durch eine vorherige Bewertung hatten wir welche mit und haben diese durchweg auch genutzt. Wir finden die Wohnung ist für sechs erwachsene Personen nicht geeignet, da die 6. Person auf der Rückenlehne der natürlich umgeklappten Schlafcouch schläft und das eine recht kippelige Angelegenheit ist. Wir waren mit fünf erwachsenen Personen vor Ort und das war okay. Die Küchenutensilien sind auch nicht unbedingt fürs Kochen für 6 Personen geeignet, es wird wohl davon ausgegangen, dass eher essen gegangen wird. Bei der Fülle an Restaurants ist auch für jeden etwas dabei. Mit dem Bus kommt man ohne Probleme in den Norden bis nach Menton und in den Süden auf jeden Fall bis nach Cannes (weiter haben wir es nicht ausprobiert). Für den "Strand" unbedingt Wasserschuhe mitnehmen, es geht auf den steinigen Untergrund kurz vor dem Wasser steil ins Meer. Wer es ruhig haben möchte, sollte nicht in der Altstadt und auch nicht an den stark befahrenden Straßen übernachten. Wir finden Nizza ist eine tolle Stadt, die viel zu bieten hat und würden immer wieder kommen.

    Schöne Wohnung für Genießer von Altstadt-Flair

    Geräumige Wohnung, praktisch eingerichtet, prima zentral gelegen, alle unsere Ziele waren zu Fuß erreichbar. Öffentlicher Nahverkehr war gut nutzbar, der Betreuer der Wohnung zeigte sich sehr engagiert und gab uns gute Tipps. Ein winziges Pünktchen fand ich nicht so ideal, wenn man eine sensible Nase hat: die Aromen im Treppenhaus, aber das fällt halt mit unter romantisches Altstadt-Ambiente.

    Die Lage ist sehr zentral. Nachts ist es vor allem am Wochenende laut. Das Treppenhaus ist sehr alt

    Housekeeper sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Man kann bei der An- und Abreise das Gepäck in einer Bar des Eigentümers in der Nähe deponieren. Das ist praktisch.

    Perfect location !

    We stayed 9 days during Silvester time in that lovely apartment. Well equipped, very good beds and perfect located to explore Nice. Also WIFI was working properly, which is very helpful. Special thanks to Dermot who was available for us at any time and helped us with all our questions. Opportunities to improve: for relatively high payment for the cleaning it could be more clean next time. And it would be good to have access to German TV - at least one or two programs in order to be able to watch breaking news. We will definitely book it again.
