4-Room Apartment of 96m with a Stunning View

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw the listing for this place on Boulevard Leader, I wasn’t expecting much. Four rooms, 96 square meters, the usual Cannes rental spiel. But walking into this apartment actually made me stop and just… wow. The view hits you immediately, and I mean really hits you. You’re looking out over Cannes in a way that makes you understand why people lose their minds over this city.

The location is what locals call “perfectly positioned” – you’re far enough up from the Croisette madness that you can actually sleep at night (trust me, this matters during festival season), but close enough that you can walk down to all the action without breaking a sweat. Boulevard Leader itself is one of those streets that feels residential and calm, which honestly surprised me. I’d grab coffee from the little café around the corner each morning, and the owner – super friendly guy – told me most of the buildings here are locals mixed with smart travelers who’ve figured out this sweet spot. You know what I mean? Not touristy, but not inconvenient either.

The apartment itself feels way bigger than 96 square meters, probably because whoever designed it actually thought about how people move through a space. The living area opens up to that stunning view I mentioned – and when I say stunning, I’m talking about the kind of vista that makes you want to have your morning coffee on the balcony even when it’s a bit chilly. The bedrooms are thoughtfully laid out too; you could easily fit a family here without everyone stepping on each other. Actually, the master bedroom has this amazing light in the late afternoon that’s perfect for reading, something you don’t really think about until you’re there. The kitchen is well-equipped enough that I actually cooked a few meals instead of eating out every night (which, let’s face it, can get expensive in Cannes).

Parking was surprisingly straightforward – there’s street parking that’s not impossible to figure out, though I’d recommend asking the host about the local rules because they change depending on the season. Check-in was smooth, no drama, and the whole building has that solid, well-maintained feel that makes you relax immediately. The 9.2 rating makes complete sense once you’re there; it’s the kind of place where all the small details just work. During the quieter months, you get this lovely residential vibe where you feel like you’re living in Cannes rather than just visiting it, but even when things get busy, you’re tucked away enough to have your own peaceful corner of the city.

Reviews

• John from United States – 26 June 2023 (9/10)

  Nice place. Nice view. Modern appliances. Nice pool.
  
  What could be improved: Was a very time consuming process. The rental agreement was immense. The whole process really took a lot of time and emails. Most emails came in triplicate as well, which was bothesome.

• Philip from Netherlands – 14 September 2022 (10/10)

  Geweldig moor ingericht en heel praktisch. Zwembad is top. Rustig gelegen.
  
  What could be improved: De locatie was prima, echter je kan niets doen zonder auto, hetgeen wij als jammer ervaarden. Verder werd het uitzicht deels geblokkeerd door een hoog flatgebouw.
