Wonderful spot in Vieux Nice!
Very well situated apartment in the heart of Vieux Nice. We arrived early, but the host was able to accommodate us. When we arrived, the internet wasn’t working but they immediately got a wireless hotspot in place, which worked perfectly for the length of our stay. The appliances all worked well, and the space was sufficient for all of us to be comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring Vieux Nice - mere steps from daily markets and a very wide range of restaurants. It’s also a very short, pleasant walk from the Promenade des Anglais. We recommend it and would stay here again.

An amazing apartment in a great location
We stayed for 3 weeks in October 2023 and cannot recommend the apartment highly enough. It was extremely well appointed with plenty of kichen utensils/crockery, great towels, comfortable beds and great bed linen. The air conditioning was fantastic as was the ability to open windows on cooler days. The added benefit of a seperate washer and dryer for clothes was amazing. For us one of the outstanding features was the perfect location - close to the beach, near the fresh food market, surrounded by amazing shops and restaurants and with easy access to the tram and train which made it a great base for exploring areas out of Nice.

Old Nice - Nice Flat
Overall very good, the host was very good at communicating. The checkin process was a little bumpy due to us having many large bags and a rental car and driving down into Old Nice is very challenging. After a few days though, we were masters. The flat is nice with a large, updated kitchen and three nice bedrooms, and nice updated baths. It was so close to the very best places and the beach. The only negative is that there are loud partiers every night on the street below, and they often don't stop til morning. This is not the host's fault, just be aware. Overall a very nice place to stay.

In the heart of EVERYTHING
The apartment is wonderful. Very well stocked and clean. We ordered (for an extra cost) food for when we arrived. It was great because we didn't have to hit a grocery store for much at all. There were fresh flowers and the washer and dryer AND Air Conditioning were key!! The kitchen could NOT have been equipped better. French Press and cappuccino maker! Overall we felt completely comfortable and at home. The deep master bath tub was so relaxing. The location also couldn't be better, close to public transportation and 5 min walk to the beach. The only few critiques I'll give is that I didn't feel like anyone was immediately available if something happened. It took a full day for a response from the company when I messaged. There are a couple of spots that look like black mold in the showers and ceilings. There are some floor boards coming up in the middle of the main traffic area that every person in our family stubbed their toes on. That needs to be repaired. The tv/internet is agonizingly slow. I know we are not there to watch the tv, but at the end of a busy the day it's great to sit back and relax to a fun show or movie. And finally, the complementary uber ride never happened. When we clicked the link for the ride, there was no driver available. They happily rebooked a ride back to the airport and hence, same thing. No show driver, we ended up booking our own rides both ways. Thank you again for your beautiful home!! We will never forget our trip to Nice!

Absolutely stunning Nice
This is our 2nd stay at this property. Whilst we did have a few issues on check-in they were quickly attended to. The apartment is gorgeous and the location is perfect. As it is in the heart of the old town there is quite a bit of noise but that is to be expected. The apartment is surrounded by shops and restaurants - everything is at your doorstep.

About the host

Hosted by Sunlight Properties

Host profile image
Property managed by Sunlight Properties: with over 15 years of experience in the luxury hospitality industry, we fully manage and rent out extraordinary homes for perfect holidays. Luxurious properties, easy booking and an eco-conscience is the minimum that you can expect.

The owner of our Cristal apartment is an interior designer with a heart of gold. You will immediately notice her impeccable flair for design as you step into the apartment. Her property is her pride and joy, and she delights in making every effort so that her guests feel "at home away from home". Nothing makes her happier than knowing her guests have loved their stay at her place and plan to return, summer after summer.

Why they chose this property

Nice, away from the hustle of Paris and just a short flight or picturesque train ride away, is where we like to go to slow down. That sea breeze, the slow strolls along Promenade des Anglais, the elegance: It's the French Riviera at its best. Walking around "Vieux Nice," the old city, is one of our favourite ways to experience it all: Clock the colourful range of yellow, red, and ocher facades; the abundance of flower and antiques shops.

In the summer, cool off in the maze of narrow streets, popping into terraces, cafés, and local shops. Take a walk around the market of the Cours Saleya, where you can shop for local goods like flowers, olive oil or lavender soaps. For lunch - the food scene is second to none with an abundance of divine restaurants popping up on every corner.

Add in the gentle Mediterranean weather... Blessed with over 300 days of sunshine per year...It's impossible not to fall in love.

What makes this property unique

Impeccably-designed and perfectly-located in the heart of the city - this apartment has it all. Pick Cristal if you would like to enjoy the luxury standard of a boutique hotel - with the privacy that a holiday rental can offer. All 2 mins walk from the beach!
