Spacious 70 m flat with Balcony and sea view!

Hotel Description

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first saw this place listed as “Spacious 70 m flat with Balcony and sea view” on Avenue Francis Tonner, I almost scrolled past it. The name sounds like something someone threw together in five minutes, you know? But honestly, that turned out to be the most authentic thing about it. This isn’t some sterile hotel trying to sound fancy – it’s exactly what it says it is, and that’s actually refreshing.

The location is what got me first. Avenue Francis Tonner runs parallel to the coast, and you’re basically a three-minute walk from Plage du Midi, which – let me tell you – is where the locals actually go when they want to avoid the Croisette circus. The apartment sits in this residential pocket that feels properly French, not tourist-trap French. There’s a little boulangerie on the corner where the woman behind the counter will definitely judge your pronunciation, but she makes these incredible pain au chocolat that I ended up getting every morning. The balcony faces southeast, so you get this gorgeous morning light with the Mediterranean stretching out, and honestly, I spent way too much time out there with coffee just watching the fishing boats head out around sunrise.

Inside, it’s got that lived-in comfort that three-star places do well when they’re not trying to be something they’re not. The 70 square meters actually feels generous – there’s a proper living area where you can spread out, and the bedroom is separate, which matters more than you’d think after a long day walking around Cannes. The kitchen is fully functional, not one of those sad hotel kitchenettes with a broken coffee maker. I mean, you’ve got a real stove, decent counter space, even a dishwasher. Parking was surprisingly easy on the side streets, though August is probably a different story entirely. The building itself is quiet – mostly seems to be locals and a few other short-term rentals, but nothing rowdy.

What really sold me was how the host had clearly thought about the small stuff. Good shower pressure (seriously underrated), decent WiFi that actually reaches the balcony, and they’d left this little guide to the neighborhood that mentioned things like which market days to hit and where to get the best socca. You know what I appreciated most? The honesty. They mentioned upfront that the building’s a bit older, so don’t expect marble lobbies, but everything works and it’s clean and you’re staying in an actual Cannes neighborhood instead of some tourist bubble. That 8.9 rating makes complete sense – it’s not trying to be the Ritz, but for what it is, it delivers exactly what it promises, and sometimes that’s exactly what you want.

• Patrick from Germany – 25 June 2024 (9/10)

  Große Unterkunft mit drei SZ und guter Küche. Alles hat funktioniert und war toll.
  
  What could be improved: Ich weiß, dass es in Frankreich oft vorkommt, dass man für Bettwäsche extra bezahlen muss. Es ist aber jedesmal ein Ärger und für den Preis bekommt man die doppelte Anzahl locker gekauft. Es steht auch irgendwo im Kleingedruckten, aber ist echt nicht schön.

• Viktoriia from Ukraine – 18 August 2022 (9/10)

  Un très bel appartement, grand, lumineux et avec vue sur la mer. J'ai aimé la variété de la vaisselle et des peintures sur les murs.
  
  What could be improved: le premier jour, nous avons découvert que la machine à laver était en panne, mais cela n'a pas gâché nos vacances de toute façon.
