The house was very much as we expected. Tidy, fully furnished and a great location.
Close to the beach and within the city walls, the apartment was in the perfect location. Patrick (the owner) was very helpful in helping us to and from the train station, which was within walking distance - he made the stay very easy.
We brought 3 kids - aged 7, 3 and 2 - and while we had no issues, the house has spiral stairs (which were challenging for the little ones) and some little drops that made us nervous. In the end, all went well.
Because the apartment is narrow and with natural light only on the front side windows or sky lights, the apartment could feel a little tight - but as we were out of the house 12 hours of the day out at the beach, walking around the city or otherwise, it was not an issue.
The fully functional kitchen was great as it allowed us to prepare a big breakfast and a few snacks for the day. Generally, we ate dinners out - there were many restaurants within a short walk.
Tips for future renters:
The beach nearby is one of the smaller ones but has the most character, there are others just a little further. We ended up walking to the beach in Juan Les Pins (there is a little shuttle train) as the beaches were sandier and a little more spread out.
Try the pizza just a couple of doors down - very good - all the locals line up for it (always a good sign)
