Photos and Description of the Central Nice vacation apartment rental
Centrally located. 1-bed, 1 bath. Sofa bed in lounge. West facing balcony

Beautifully refurbished, this well appointed 32m/s 1-bedroomed, 1 bathroom apartment in a stone Nicois building just off Rue Jean Medecin offers everything you need for a great self catering break in Nice. Close to shops (1 block from Galeries Lafayette and Nice Etoile Shopping Centre) and restaurants, yet only a short walk from the Old Town and the beach, it is ideally located in a quiet street, at the back of the building, avoiding any street noise. The apartment is on the third floor (no lift) with 1 ensuite double bedroom, double sofa bed in lounge, modern kitchen area with dishwasher, fridge, oven and hob. Stunning bathroom leads off bedroom with walk-in shower. Separate toilet. Lovely modernHabitat furniture and parquet flooring. Flat screen TV with DVD player, PlayStation console, games, books and DVDs. West facing, it gets the blissful afternoon sun on the balcony.

Ski-ing: Despite the Mediterranean climate, the ski slopes are within easy reach, there is even a ski bus at weekends/French school holidays. Alternatively, you can get a normal bus for 1euros pp although the journey takes a couple of hours but it is well worth it. We go skiing from our flat, catching the 0715y ski bus which takes you to the ski resorts of Isola 2000 or Valberg, allowing a good day ski ing before catching the evening bus home.

Beach: Nice has pebbly beaches but for about 15euros a day you can live the life of luxury with a sunbed, parasol and waiter-service on one of the many private beaches. Nearby Villefranche has the best beach for swimming and is a shingle beach. There is a sandy beach at Antibes.

Sight seeing: Nice has a plethora of museums, including Matisse and Modern Art collections and historical buildings and beautiful places of worship. The walks around the Old Town can take a few hours and must include a walk up to the Chateau. Take the train/bus to Monte Carlo, the perfumeries of Grasse and Eze or the designer shops of Cannes. We have been visiting Nice for several years and still haven't seen all there is to see!

About Lynne Murphy

I first got to know Nice when I was a campsite rep in the 80s, my husband and I went back in 2007 as he was competing in Ironman Nice and we fell in love with the South of France all over again and decided to buy a property. As with everything, we don't get to spend enough time out there so decided to rent it out to holidaymakers in 2008 and have been consistently busy ever since, with lots of repeat business. We live in Canterbury, UK but are both from York originally. I work for a charity and my husband works for the NHS and we have a son who is now at university in Sheffield studying Politics, so we are now 'empty nesters' and enjoying the peace and quiet...and tidy house!

Lynne Murphy purchased this apartment in 2007
Why Lynne Murphy chose Central Nice

We chose this apartment as it had been completely renovated and was in a perfect location, near all the main shops yet on a quiet side street, away from the hustle and bustle of a city. We originally wanted to buy somewhere in the Old Town but found it too noisy at night and none of the apartments we viewed let in much light, which was a prerequisite. We love Nice because it is very accessible from the airport and has so many things to see and do, with other lovely places within easy reach, even some skiing in winter!

What makes this apartment unique

We love our property because it is clean, modern and minimal, easy to maintain and very comfortable, with friendly neighbours, lovely balcony which gets the afternoon sun and accessible for the train, bus and trams...and so near the lovely shops of Nice, yet only a short walk to the Old Town and beach.

Nearest Beach : beach at 800 Metres
Car: not necessary

Centrally located on the quiet side street of Rue Blacas, yet just a few metres from the main shopping street of Avenue Jean Medecin, with its impressive indoor shopping plaza, Nice Etoile, and just a short walk to

the Promenade des Anglais and the beach.

Don't bother with expensive car hire! Transport in Nice is cheap and efficient with a choice of tram, bus or train. The tramline is on Jean Medecin and the apartment is approx 5 minutes' walk from the main train station (Nice-Ville), airport bus stop and several bus routes run past the end of the street. Buses/trams cost 1 euro pp per journey....you can get to Monaco, Cannes, Grasse by bus, the trains are also relatively inexpensive and efficient. The direct bus to Nice airport is 4 euros pp, and picks up at the end of Rue Blacas/Chauvain.

The apartment is at rear of building so no intrusive road noise which is a feature of many apartments. Next door there's a boulangerie for your daily croissant, further down there's a mini-mart, and Casino supermarket is a 5 minute walk.

Lovely apartment

5 of 5
Submitted: May 5, 2013 Stayed: April 2013
We had an extremely enjoyable stay in this lovely apartment. It was in the perfect location, close to the main shopping area, Old Town, and a short walk to the sea. The apartment was nicely decorated, comfortable and very quiet. Lynne, the owner, was friendly and helpful, and always responded promptly to emails.

All in all, it was perfect for our needs and we would certainly book this apartment again.
Owner's Response: Thank you for taking the time to write a review and for your lovely comments and do come again, I always offer 10% discount to returning clients, in fact 1/3 of my bookings this year are from previous clients, so we must be doing something right!

We have had a wonderfull stay in Nice. It was the eight time and one of the best. It is a handsomely and tastefull appointed apartment nearby the main streets with the stores in the center of Nice. A real joy. The meet and greet with the local agent was easy fixed. The public transportation is cheap compared tot the dutch prices. We took the bus from and to the airport and made trips with the bus and train to other towns. We will return in april 2013. And if the apartment is available we will rent it again.

A lovely break

5 of 5

I came to Nice with my husband for a bit of late summer sun. The apartment was in a brilliantly convenient spot for everything; an easy walk to the old town, same for the beach, and shops literally round the corner. It had everything we needed, with plenty of room for our stuff (including my husband's bike box) and a great shower with loads of hot water. Everywhere was spick and span and in good condition. Lynne - the owner - was really friendly and helpful, giving us info about buses to and from the airport. We particularly enjoyed the Beau Rivage beach and had Italian ice-cream from Fenocchio every single night whilst walking home! I could absolutely recommend this apartment, it was lovely.

Nice apartment

My mum and I spent a wonderful 5 nights in this beautiful apartment in the heart of Nice. The apartment was well decorated, very comfortable and had a great kitchen and bathroom. It was spotless throughout and felt very homely! It is on the third floor but the stairs were not a problem for my mum and I. The apartment is located in the town centre and was very quiet during the day and night. The bus station was only a few minutes walk away and we found the buses fantastic. For 0ne euro we enjoyed trips to Monaco, Cannes, Antibes and Juan le Pins which were all beautiful. I would highly recommend this apartment. Lynne, the owner could not have been more helpful and would reply to my emails quickly! Claire, the agent in Nice met us on arrival and was helpful and very pleasant. We will definitely return to Nice for shopping, sightseeing, the fab old and new town and for all the fantastic restaurants! A great holiday was had!
