| "We really enjoyed staying there. It was in a great part of town and we were very confident regarding our personal belongings. It was very roomy and we loved having the washer machine. I would definitely stay there again. It actaully was cheaper to stay there than the hotel we stayed in previously. I received plenty of correspondance before I went so that I wasnt going in blind sided. The entire experience was wonderful!!!"

"The balcony overlooking the gardens was excellent but the outlook from the lounge balcony was poor and depressing. We did not use this balcony. The lighting could be improved but other than this the facilities were good and the kitchen equipment could not be faulted. Excellent location and the grounds to the apartment blocks were very well kept. Overall, very good and we would rent it again."
Owner reply:
:
I was sorry to hear the weather was not the best for this clients visit. In relation to the lighting, this is a highly subjective matter. We find most of our renters prefer the subdued lighting style, for the décor of simple white walls, very bright lighting can be hard on the eyes. Glad to read that the facilities of the apartment and its location were good and we look forward to looking after this client in the future. Many thanks.

Enhancements have also been made, including new flat screen TVs.
Still the BEST possible location in Nice, in a quiet courtyard, 100 yards from the Prominade, and The Rue de France.
Will definately be booking again for next year."

The kitchen balcony is ideal for taking breakfast whilst the massive rear balcony provides ample additional lounging and dining space. The complex is secure, peaceful and beautifully maintained, with direct access to either the shops or to the promenade. Brigette again met us and checked us out, on time and with the miniumum of fuss. Already looking forward to returning next year."

"We have had vacations in half a dozen or more rented accommodation, normally on a self-catering basis, and after thirty years of two or three foreign visits a year, and four or five in each of the last six years, we have become tolerably adept at sussing out the good properties. This one was abundantly what we sought.
Thus, it was quiet, beautifully clean, well furnished, with excellent beds, abundant hot water, splendidly equipped in the kitchen, and fully dark
at night. The addition of the requested duvets was most welcome, and air-conditioning room-by-room was a treasure we don't meet often!
The location could not have been bettered. We even managed the TV, though the oven foxed us at times!
The things we missed may reflect that we were unusual in actually catering for ourselves foil, herbs, a knife-sharpener, a third tea-towel,
and, amongst good cleaning materials, a duster! The only damage we inflicted, to our knowledge, was when we tried to make a daube
in the big blue casserole and melted the knob on the lid - sorry! A lidded glass or pottery casserole for use in the oven would have been
most helpful. But these really are minutiae. Perhaps the absence of a shelf (for toiletries)in the shower room, and for soap etc in the shower
itself, but it's a very good shower. The only comment we would make that comes remotely near the status of a complaint concerns the lighting in the sitting room, more especially lighting to read by.
But we really did feel we had outstanding value for money and then some.
With every good wish and many thanks - John & Norma.

The balconies were perfect for relaxing after a tiring days sightseeing and there was very little noise day and night. The books and DVDs were much appreciated. Many thanks to Deirdre and Brigette."

We were especially impressed by all the extra attention and special facilities such as : the tourist and shopping information, the free use of the phone for outgoing calls etc. The whole complex in general is beautiful and the appartment in particular is lovely. The location is superb and we were even lucky with the weather!!!
In short, we look forward to our next stay in the Future

Highly recommend."

"Property was as advertsed. Excellent location if your on foot,and good access to parking if driving. Be sure to buy a long term parking pass in the adjacent parking garage if driving, or the parking is pricey. The apartment is comfortable and decently appointed,really lacked nothing. The company rep. was there at the appointed times at the beginning and at the end of our stay. There were many good restuarants in the area, we particularily enjoyed the ones on the site of the market in the Old Towm. The info regarding dining that was in the apartment was also helpful and accurate. Overall our experience both with the accomodation and agency were most satifactory."

| "We have just returned from an excellent break in the Cote DAzur and this has more than exceeded our expectations. The feedback from the owner was first class and the instrutions and details within the information pack within the property were great in their very precise nature.
The apartment is simply ideal and easily accommodated myself my wife and our two older teenagers. The privacy and seclusion of the location is perfect and the accomodation and facilities are exactly as described, which is quite rare these days.
The local agent was very helpful and willing to assist in any way possible and I fail to see what the problem was over the linen and towels. We got exactly what we asked for and previous review comments need to take into account that this is an apartment not a hotel where bedding is changed daily.
Nice is an expensive location but you get what you pay for if you want cheap and tacky go to Ibiza. We used the pivate beaches extensively and whilst this is a luxury it is certainly an experience that I would encourage.
I would have no hesitation recommending this beatiful property to my family and friends. I will definitely book next year.

"VERY expensive but if you can afford it- worth it!Perfect flat and location!
Local agent very helpful.
The only downside was,on arrival, you had to pay 335euros to agent plus deposit of 800euros"
Owner reply:
:
We are pleased to receive this great review of our apartment, yes it is in the best location in Nice.
This client booked the apartment for 23 days and was given a discount on the full rental price. We advised that the local handling charge of €200, covered being checked in and our of the apartment, provision of bed linen and towels for two double beds and two single beds, excluding end of stay cleaning. The apartment should be returned clean as received.
The client indicated that although there would initially be four in the party, other members of her family would visit during her stay and that she would require a change of bed linen and towels. The client did not want to clean and requested extra cleaning.
The total paid to our local handling agent was €335, this covered the initial €200 handling fee plus the extra bed linen and towels at €90, along with the agreed extra cleaning of €45. It is rare that clients request these additions.
There is no apartment security deposit of €800 paid to our handling agent. This is taken as security by RentalSystems Limited and returned seven days following the rental period, in full, unless there is a damage claim. The apartment is a luxury apartment, fitted to the highest standard and the amount of security deposit is reflected herein.
The clients states that the apartment is expensive, which could have been reflected by the 15% depreciation of sterling between the time of booking and payment of balance of rental, as mentioned by a pervious guest.
To compare a double room in the Palais de la Mediterranee Hotel with Garden View is priced at €350 for the night of the 30th August next.

Considering this property is smack in the middle of the best part of Nice, the appartment is very well priced, even accounting for the 15% shift in the Euro this year.
Will certainly be looking to book again next year."

"The apartment was well located and roomy, it was lovely to have 2 balconies although it would have been more of a squeeze for 6 people. The facilities were good and the apartment was well equipped
Security of all the apartments was very excellent.
Our only concern was that we paid 200 Euros for bed linen and towels. We were only offered 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel for the week until we asked for extra and was given 1 extra bath towel each. There were quilts but no quilt covers.
The apartment was generally clean but the grill inside the oven could not be used because when it was turned on the kitchen was covered in smoke.
All that said we had a wonderful holiday and would use this type of property again"
Owner reply:
:
Our apartment information clearly states what the Euro200 covers, not only for bed linen and towels !
Summer bedding is sheets only, with duvets and covers being used for winter. If guests are either too cold or warm, adjustments can be made to the air-conditioning or heating thermostat, or turned off altogether.
Our "Guest Information" will be more specific on the points above.
The oven should have been cleaned by previous guests and will be checked in future by our local handling team.

"Some interesting comments from an apartment guest:
"Thanks for the updat ed information on the internet.
It was a bit of a nuisance having to go out and get logged on etc, but hey, no big deal, but at least you found the root of the problem. We enjoyed our stay all the same and it was a comfortable apartment.
By the way, did Bridget inform you that I fixed the en-suite plumbing. There was a leak from the sink waste. Anyway I removed the drawers and stripped down the waste unit, which was blocked and I cleaned out the pipes and the inside panels and reassembled, so all was well. .
Next time we come I will bring my tool box Ha..Ha..just joking.
We are still looking for a place in the Nice area. We did not have much of a chance to go house hunting, as we had friends join us, but we will be heading back there in a couple of months, so I will give you a call to check if apartment is available if that’s OK.
Well that’s about it for now, thanks again and hope everything is OK with you.

Plenty of room for our family of four, the apartment is in very good condition and equipped with everything you could need. Deirdre was exceptionally helpful with advice and assisting with our pre-arrival planning, it was my daughters 9th birthday on our arrival day, there was a cake waiting for her upon arrival at the apartment which delighted her (thanks Deirdre). We travelled to Monaco the next day (again Deidre helped by arranging train tickets) to watch the F1 GP, had a great day and excellent week in Nice. Would highly recommend this apartment"

The unit was as described and suited our needs very well. Right across from the beach and 10 minute walk to Old Nice. Great location.
We would have liked more linens, one bath towel & hand towel each was not adequate as you had to hope when you washed them they dried before your next shower.
The cleaners need to learn to vaccum under furniture too not just around it but over all it was a great unit for us and I would definately rent it again."

"Definite lack of linens. Could not change sheets as there was not another set to put on. Although having a washer was good, could not dry towels or sheets in time to use them again. Pillows and some duvets are filthy. Vacuuming under furniture would be appreciated.
Good location. Bridgit was prompt and helpful. More explaination of how things work in suite would be helpful. Adequate kitchen supplies."
Owner reply:
:
These clients seem to be under the illusion that this was a hotel and expected a change of towels and linens, even though they only stayed for one week. If they had read the booking information, they clearly would have seen that changes were available at extra cost.
We believe that filthy is a gross exaggeration, but will change pillows and arrange cleaning of duvets - October, 2007.
This is an adundance of literature in the apartment on how things work.
To summarise this is the first time these guests have stayed in a rental apartment, their expectations were geared to hotel services, while they were paying only 10% of the hotel price.

"Hi Deirdre, just a note to say what a fabulous apartment you have. We really enjoyed our week and spent several days on the sporting plage and used your surf board to the max!!!.
I was just about to go shopping one day when Andrea said it's a shame you're going to have to carry a load of heavy stuff, what you could do with is a shopping trolley I wonder if there is one here!
I thought I hope there isn't I don't want to go out with an old lady trolley (remembering my Granny wheeling hers around).
Needless to say your apartment has every accessory imaginable so I gritted my teeth and went down to Spar towing it behind me !!!!
Seriously though we had a super time
Best Wishes

The local contact Bridget was great even though we had difficulty making contact by phone from the airport (it went to answerphone, and we dont speak french thus didnt understand the message) she saw the missed calls, called us back and was already at the apartment waiting for us.
The whole complex is clean and quiet and has good secuirity by controlled access with all the restraunts, shops, beach bars, casinos etc that you could want right outside.
We will be going back im sure - Many Thanks :-)"

"The property was a good location and very clean. The representative was very disappointing as she was not available to meet us and show us around the apartment. We had to meet at a seperate location and find the apartment ourselves which was not easy. Nice apartment, poor service."
Owner reply:
:
This client was lucky that our Representative was able to meet him on the motorway with his lorry. We were not informed of the clients specific mode of transport to Nice, which resulted in tachograph problems. She went out of her way to facilitate a meeting, gave written instructions, drew a diagram re. location of apartment, gave her mobile number and phoned the client the next day.

"Nice appartment. It could be cleaner:dust!
The building is nice, but no view.
The description was accurate.
The code for the door to the beach was wrong.
The service and local assistnce were both good.
It was not clear what is the 200 Euro paid localy were for.
Over all we enjoyed your appartment.
Thank you."
Owner reply:
:
The apartment had been thoroughly cleaned by me ten days prior to this guests’ arrival and was in pristine condition, it appears that it was a bit dusty and without a “fresh” feel to it. I have instigated a pre-dust check on the day of the guests arrival.
The local charge is clearly explained in our advertising for the apartment, there should have been no surprise or confusion on this charge which is determined by the local market.

| "We have found that the apartment exceeded the advertised description. The location of the apartment was second to none and the ameneties inside the apartment were above average. We had a little difficulty with the operation of the oven and soon gave up using it. We also had some difficulty in loading and unloading our car in the front of the building. The Casino attendant urged us not to stop at all at the parking zone on the Promenade des Anglais front entrance. Seeing that a pedestrian access to the front of the building has been provided for the Residence apartments, it would be safe to assume that one should be able to use its driveway for a few minutes while loading or unloading the car. Except for the above remarks, the apartment provided us with all the major conforts and we would be more than happy to return to it sometime and /or to recommend it to to anyone who would like to spend some time in the most upscale location in the French Riviera."

We spent 5 days here and are already looking forward to our next visit to see more of the area and would definitely book this apartment again. The two bedrooms both have doors onto separate balconies and although in the middle of the city it's so quiet as you're located in a central courtyard (with excellent security entrances to make you feel safer).
Dealings with owner and local representative were very good.
Highly recommended!"
