On arrival the owner was waiting to let me into the flat. The flat is very clean, well maintained and stylish, the owner was very helpful before and during the stay. There are a number of stairs up to the flat so you need to be prepared for that and the beautiful but steep street. There were little extras like beach mats, hair dryer and teabags! The flat overlooks a central courtyard so you can hear other people at times and need to get to grip with the shutters to keep the temperature down. There are fans in both rooms. The surrounding area is full of life with all the old town attractions and a short walk to the beach, less than 5 minutes. Nice itself has plenty to offer, great public areas, shopping, galleries and museums. The public transport system is frequent and inexpensive. The 98 bus from the airport costs 6 euros, trams and buses have a flat fee of 1 euro 50 and can get you out to the local hilltop villages such as Eze. The train to Monte Carlo is 3 euros and worth booking in advance. Eating out is quite expensive but good quality, we chose recommendations from our guide book which were delicious, there is plenty of choice and takeaway pizza is always an option! There are supermarkets, carrefour and monoprix which are cheaper than the local shops and the bigger ones have a great selection of fresh produce. All in all a very pleasant stay.
