Superbe Flat 2 chambres and 1 canapé convertible 3P1

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about this place? The name makes it sound like some generic rental listing, but honestly, this apartment on Rue Merle is way better than I expected. I mean, Superbe Flat 2 chambres – whoever named it clearly wasn’t going for subtlety, but they weren’t lying either.

The location is actually perfect if you want to feel like you’re living in Cannes rather than just passing through. Rue Merle sits right in that sweet spot between Prado and République, which means you’re close enough to walk to the Palais des Festivals (maybe 15 minutes if you don’t get distracted by the shop windows), but far enough from the Croisette madness that you can actually sleep at night. The building itself has that classic French apartment feel – you know, the kind with the heavy wooden doors and those shutters that actually work. There’s something satisfying about closing them against the afternoon sun and having the place go properly dark for a nap.

What really works here is the setup – two proper bedrooms plus that convertible sofa situation, which is clutch if you’re traveling with friends or family. The sofa bed is actually decent quality, not one of those torture devices that leaves you feeling like you wrestled with a metal frame all night. The kitchen has everything you need if you want to grab fresh stuff from the Marché Forville (it’s just a quick walk, and honestly, the morning market there is worth setting an alarm for). I found myself making coffee and sitting by the windows watching the neighborhood wake up, which felt pretty magical during my stay in September when the summer crowds were finally thinning out.

The whole Prado-République area has this lived-in quality that I love – there are actual bakeries where locals line up for their morning bread, not just tourist traps selling overpriced croissants. You’ll hear conversations in French drifting up from the street, and there’s usually some old guy walking his tiny dog who clearly knows everyone’s business. Parking can be a bit of a puzzle (this is Cannes, after all), but there are spots if you’re patient, and honestly, once you’re settled in, you probably won’t want to drive much anyway.

The apartment itself feels fresh and well-maintained – someone clearly cares about keeping it nice. The shower has good pressure, the beds are comfortable, and there’s decent storage space for your stuff. It’s not fancy in that over-the-top hotel way, but it’s got character and everything works properly. During Cannes Film Festival season, I imagine this place books up fast and probably costs a fortune, but in the shoulder seasons, it’s a really solid choice for the price point. You’re getting that authentic French apartment experience without sacrificing comfort, and you can walk to pretty much everything that matters in Cannes.

Apartments in Cannes provide travelers with an authentic local experience, allowing them to shop at traditional Provençal markets and cook with fresh ingredients from the renowned French Mediterranean culinary traditions.
