Huge, gracious spaces--great room PLUS living room, wonderfully furnished by a working artist. The host, Lisa, a 37-year expat from New York, was a treat. I didn't read the instruction not to put coffee grounds down the sink drain and it back up. She was very gracious about it, saying that it was old plumbing. BTW, the coffee maker was a DeLonghi expresso maker--cappuccino as good as it gets. Drenching shower head.
Location, location, location--ten minute walk to Saleya/Old Town or the beach. Lisa provides the necessary beach shoes. Don't even think of walking on the cobbled beach without them. Two blocks from the tram. A block from the main shopping drag. 3 blocks from the boutique district. 3 blocks from the pedestrian mall, loaded with restaurants. Pro tip: always walk into a pharmacy to ask for nearby dining recommendations.
A superbly-stocked Monoprix two blocks away opens at 7am with all you need for breakfast--breads, pastries, cheese shop, orange juice squeezed before your very eyes. My wife was getting a cold so we bought a "yellow" chicken and made a delicious broth that she had every morning. So much better than USAmerican chicken--even organic, air-cooled chicken. Voila!
No safe, but very secure front door lock. It was one floor walk up, what Europeans call the first floor and what USAmericans call the second. We felt very secure.
Great a/c with room-by-room regulation.
BTW, we rented a car for the week and parked it nearby for $150 a week. If we were to do it again, we would skip the car and use public transportation to Monaco, Antibes, Cannes, etc. Driving isn't fun in France, very narrow streets. If you want to go to more remote places like Grasse or Eze you could rent a car for just a day or take a tour.
We paid twice as much for half the space in Paris. Just rent this place and don't even bother to thank me for guiding you to it, tsk. Thank you, Lisa, for a glorious visit!
