3-Br Apartment in the heart of downtown

Hotel Description

You know what really struck me about this place? The moment you walk up to 21 rue Jean Jaurès, you realize you’ve hit that sweet spot in Cannes where you’re actually living like a local instead of just visiting. I mean, this isn’t some sterile hotel room – it’s a proper three-bedroom apartment right in the thick of things, and honestly, that makes all the difference when you’re trying to get a real feel for the city.

The location is sort of perfect if you think about it. You’re close enough to the Palais des Festivals that you can walk there in about ten minutes (I timed it), but far enough from the Croisette madness that you won’t have tourists stumbling past your windows at 2 AM. The neighborhood has this authentic French vibe – there’s a boulangerie practically next door where the locals actually shop, and you’ll hear real conversations in French floating up from the street in the mornings. The apartment itself feels lived-in rather than hotel-sterile, which I actually prefer. Sure, it’s not going to win any design awards, but the kitchen is fully equipped (thank god, because eating out every meal in Cannes will bankrupt you), and having three separate bedrooms means you’re not all cramped together like sardines.

What really won me over was the practical stuff that guidebooks never mention. The building is quiet – well, as quiet as downtown gets – and the neighbors seem to be mostly working locals rather than party-heavy tourists. You’ll get some street noise during the day, but it’s the good kind that makes you feel connected to the city rather than the awful kind that keeps you awake. Parking is actually doable in this area if you know the side streets, though honestly, once you’re settled in you won’t need a car much. The weekly market on rue Forville is a five-minute walk, and you can hit the beach or the old town without breaking a sweat. I loved that I could grab fresh produce in the morning, spend the afternoon exploring, then come back and actually cook dinner instead of hunting for overpriced restaurants. The 7.8 rating feels about right – it’s not luxury by any stretch, but it delivers exactly what it promises without any nasty surprises. For families or groups who want space to spread out and experience Cannes beyond the tourist bubble, this place gets it right.

  Lovely light and modern apartment. It was great that dishwasher and washing cubes were provided.
  
  What could be improved: The sofa was low and uncomfortable giving us backache. It would have been helpful if there had been a lot more coat hangers in each room and adequate space to hang up all the towels in both the en-suite and main bathroom.

• Valentina from Italy – 31 March 2025 (1/10)

  Un bell'appartamento in centro Cannes…Peccato per l'agenzia Serrendy che lo gestisce che ha provato ad addebitarci ingiustamente 500 euro dopo 3 settimane insinuando avessimo fumato.
  Dopo quasi 2 mesi di mail, contestazioni etc ringrazio l'assistenza di Booking per il prezioso aiuto.
