Fantastic Location in Nice, With A Weird Caveat
Perhaps the most important bit first: the location is *fantastic*. The apartment overlooks a lovely square, and is steps from both Old Nice and the beach. There are restaurants everywhere in the area, and a number of boulangeries and patisseries, as well.
The beds are comfortable (and legit kings), and the shower has plenty of hot water and great water pressure. There's also a small elevator up to the apartment, which is nice when you have bags or have spent the whole day walking all over Nice and don't feel like climbing a few flights of stairs.
Having a laundry machine is fantastic, although Americans should be warned that it's a combined washer/dryer that can take awhile.
Our two complaints about the place were:
(1) While the bed and shower are great, for some reason they only provide three small, uncomfortable pillows (for two king beds?) and three cheap towels. No hand towels, even. This seems somewhat bizarrely frugal for a 2 bedroom / 2.5 bath place. For one night, it might not have been a big deal, but as we were there for almost a week it became increasingly irritating. This is probably the major reason I'd thought about dropping this review to a 4.
(2) The check-in process is fairly smooth, but does require a bit of a detour when coming from the airport. We had to go to a hotel, pick up an envelope, and then walk (with bags) about 0.5 miles to the actual apartment. After a long flight, it felt like a bit much.
