The loo and sink were in a very small space. It would be really useful to have a toilet roll holder and towel hook/rail. Maybe a towel hook near to the shower too. We would recommend notifying Stephane of your arrival time frame near to the date of your trip and updating him if your transport is delayed on the day (as ours was). Whilst he lives in the same apartment block, there is no guarantee he will be continuously on site from 5pm until midnight if there are transport delays.

The stunning views of the city and sea from the bedroom and the roof terrace are amazing - the sunrise is well worth watching! 2 of the 4 walls of this bedroom are floor to ceiling glass so the light and views are good even on a rainy day! This rooftop accommodation is situated on the top of a residential apartment block in a gated community, entrance Lara 5. It consists of a bedroom which has a double bed, mini fridge, kettle, hair drier, tv, large shower & small separate loo with sink. The large terrace area has seating for 5 plus 2 sun loungers and a bbq. We absolutely loved looking at the panorama from up here. Please Note if you are infirm or have a lot of luggage: the lift goes to floor 9 and there is then a flight of stairs to floor 10. I can't comment on the pool or the abbey on the site as we didn't visit them. On our arrival from the airport, we walked from the Fabron tram stop to the main gates situated on Boulevard Napoleon 111, note it was a steep climb with our luggage! Stephane the owner kindly greeted us at the main green gates and drove us to apartment block Lara. Stephane helpfully told us that a few metres walk from Lara 5 was a bus stop through the white gate at the top of the complex, (you need to use the key fob to enter/exit this gate). The bus service (number 6) was frequent daytime/evening. You get on/off at Magnan and within a few metres is the tram to the old town, the port, phoenix parc, the airport. The bus and tram service were both excellent. We loved dining out al-fresco and having afternoon coffees/drinks in the port area and old town. We would recommend visiting Place Messena, the quaint alleys and squares of Vieux Nice including Place Rossetti, the Cascade de Gairaut, the I love Nice sign (watch the waves breaking near to here), Monument aux Morts, Port Lympia, Promenade de Anglaise. Didn't visit the modern shopping centre, business district etc on this trip as we have been to Nice before.

The property is incredibly difficult to find. We walked the ‘1km from the beach’ and were still nowhere near the the property. We asked several people for directions and eventually got there after walking the steep hill with bags in the heat. On arrival the proprietor asked us if we got a taxi or bus, however there was no mention of needing one beforehand or any communication to inform us that transport would be essential. You need to get the no.10 bus followed by the tram into the city centre. The room is on the roof, with the lift taking you to the floor below. We asked if we could use the bbq on the terrace however he said no as it’s ’too hard to clean’. Breakfast was disappointing- coffee, juice and a slice of brioche. The description says ‘beachfront’ but it’s nowhere near the beach! Very misleading The pool is a few minutes down the road, not on the property. It’s a communal use pool for the estate, which you have to pay €6 per person to use. Apparently the cafe is there too but we never went.

The property has amazing views. Nice terrace. Comfortable bed and clean.

Toilet and sink too small, not able to even fill kettle from the tap, had to use a glass to fill the kettle and I struggled to wash cups, no washing liquid provided or dish towels for drying cups and spoons. When trying to clean the cups in the small sink a cup was dropped and I reported this to him via text, he never gave a us a replacement cup so we went out and bought two cups but ones with handles so less chance of it slipping out of hand. Toilet was very noisy . Tiny fridge on floor with tray ontop with two cups and two coffee cups, not clean under the coasters these were on. The fridge is inadequate for use, it would be better to have a larger fridge which would also double up as a area for making the tea/coffee ontop of and to have the kettle on a safer worktop. There is 3 chairs in the room itself which are not required and the larger chair could be removed to allow for a larger fridge/worktop. There was no black out blinds and the blinds that were there has gaps allowing light into the room, very poor sleep without blackout blinds, we noticed that the unit opposite us had black out blinds. Was given two towels and a washcloth, I asked when we would get additional towels and was told he would replace these in 4 days and showed me spare pillows(actually cushions) they were dirty. When he did change over the bed/towels we were told that he had found yellow stains on the towels and had to wash them twice and that if we didn’t take care with the towels he would have to charge us dry cleaning. The towels were far from white when we got them and the replacement ones had stains in them. We were scared to use the towels after that! Noticed from the start that there was areas of the room at skirting level that had been touched up very badly looked scruffy, the paint was the wrong colour. A information sheet would be helpful and also the pool is not in that building but away down the steep road, it’s misleading the description on Booking.

The view!

1. English is very difficult to communicate. It's very hard to get the keys and find the building. The owner expected you to know this neighborhood very well. 2. WIFI is not accessible from all most any point in the room. When i consulted with the owner, he replied" U don't go on vocations for wifi". 3. About the shower, the water is less, hot wateris very limited, appliances are poor. I don't dare ask the owner, he will just probably reply " u don't go on vacations for hot water" 4. It's located on a mountain. U have to rent a car.

I will give comments on pros and cons honestly. The view is stunning. It's really great. No doubt about it.

The apartment owner was not cooperative at all, and the advertisement was very misleading. The apartment is not in a hotel, but it is in a residential building. Getting the key was a nightmare. I had to wait for the owner (3 hours) to let me into the apartment. The map on the booking navigates you far away from the apartment, which is difficult to find.
