Hotel Description

Look, I’ve stayed in a lot of places in Cannes over the years, and this apartment on Avenue Saint-Nicolas really caught me off guard – in the best way possible. You know how some vacation rentals promise the world and deliver, well, less? This isn’t one of those. The whole setup feels like you’re borrowing a wealthy friend’s place rather than staying in some sterile rental property.

The location is honestly perfect if you want that sweet spot between being close to everything but not in the middle of the tourist chaos. You’re in the Prado-République area, which – I’ll be honest – I didn’t know much about before staying here, but it’s got this lovely residential vibe that feels authentically French. The walk to the Palais des Festivals really is about ten minutes, maybe twelve if you’re the type who stops for photos (guilty). What I really appreciated was how you can duck into the little boulangerie on the corner for proper croissants without fighting crowds of cruise ship passengers. The apartment itself is spacious in a way that actually matters – I mean, four real bedrooms and four full bathrooms, so nobody’s fighting over shower time or privacy. The beds are comfortable (not always a given in vacation rentals), and there’s this attention to detail in the furnishings that suggests someone actually cares about the place. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to grab fresh ingredients from the Marché Forville and cook at home, which honestly saved us a fortune given Cannes’ restaurant prices during festival season.

Here’s what really sold me though – the building has that quiet, well-maintained feel you want when you’re trying to recover from long days exploring or, let’s face it, long nights out in Cannes. I was worried about street noise since we were right in town, but the windows are solid and the Avenue Saint-Nicolas isn’t a main thoroughfare, so you actually get decent sleep. Parking was surprisingly manageable for the area, and the check-in process was refreshingly straightforward – none of that “meet me at a random café with an envelope” nonsense you sometimes get with vacation rentals. The building itself has that classic French apartment feel without being stuffy about it. What I found interesting is how the place bridges that gap between luxury and livability – it’s clearly upscale but doesn’t make you feel like you can’t put your feet up or leave a coffee cup on the counter. You’re close enough to walk to the beaches, the shopping, and all the Cannes essentials, but you’re also in a spot where you can experience a bit of how locals actually live. That 9.8 rating makes sense once you’re there – it’s the kind of place that just works without any drama or unpleasant surprises.

Reviews

  • Deborah from Australia – 7 October 2024 (10/10)

    Clean, modern , great size , close to all amenities.

    What could be improved: Unfortunately we had a large van and found parking difficult. Eventually found underground parking and left the car there . But nothing to do with the property .

  • William from United Kingdom – 19 July 2024 (10/10)

    This is a very special property it is high end, fully equipped and a wonderful location for exploring the Cost De Azure.

    What could be improved: Nothing to add

  • Richard from United Kingdom – 7 July 2024 (10/10)

    We all loved the apartment. Very nice condition. 4 big bedrooms. Comfortable living area which could seat all 7 of us. Fantastic location. Just 5-10min walk from the central station. 20 mins or so into town and the beach area. Nearby choices for bakeries and mini-market. Air con works well. My room had a balcony that could seat two, so great for morning coffee. Ensuite bathrooms (one bathroom for each room) great so I had a shower & loo to myself. 🙂 Would definitely stay there again. We were a group of 4 couples.

    What could be improved: Nothing.

  • Lusanda from Germany – 7 June 2024 (10/10)

    Everything was on point! Spacious, clean and neat apartment with everything that we needed. It felt like home. Close to the station which makes it easy to commute if you want to visit other places. It didn’t even feel like we were staying in an apartment block as the apartment is the only one on its floor. Also on the 1st floor so easy to reach with heavy luggage. The owner was in communication with us before the stay to make sure that our arrival was smooth and during the stay – attended to all our requests. Everything was top class. I could go on and on! Perfect location! Don’t think twice and book. Apartment as per the images!

    What could be improved: N/A

  • Mitch from United Kingdom – 12 September 2023 (10/10)

    What could be improved: nothing

  • Pablo from United States – 24 June 2023 (10/10)

    The apartment is wonderful and very good equipped. Full kitchen and some welcome details that allow you land during the first day with out to runout to the market!

    What could be improved: The parking in the area is always full but just 200mts distance there is a wonderful parking lot 20eur/ day

  • Beatrice from Ireland – 2 May 2023 (9/10)

    location was superb, lovely quiet area but 10 mins stroll to the croisette

    What could be improved: kids running around upstairs late at night & 1st thing in the morning but that’s not the hosts fault

  • Anonymous from Portugal – 8 September 2023 (10/10)

    The space is incredible! Very close to everything you need including transit to travel to other locations. Our host was fantastic!

  • Anonymous from United Kingdom – 10 April 2023 (8/10)

    Great communication with host and fab location- 5 minute walk to bus/train(if even).
    Lovely spacious rooms, and good kitchen facilities.
    Any issues are resolved promptly by host.

    What could be improved: Nothing negative more for improvement…
    more written instructions for usage of heating/dishwasher for example.

    The hoover was very clogged/dirty and oven wasn’t the cleanest but with cleaning products provided it could be solved.
