My husband and I had an excellent stay at the Mer apt. It is truly right on the ocean. We could sit on the balcony and watch boats go in and out of the port, or people snorkeling near the shore. It was a good mix of being close to grocery, restaurants, and Nice but also private. We walked into Nice everyday, but there are also 2 bus routes that are close. We even had an ocean view from the bed! It is small; perfect for me and my husband. Might be tight with 4, but still could access all the shared spaces. It also had all the amenities we needed. Would love to return!

We had such a fantastic time in Derrick 's apartment. When we arrived we were greeted by the lovely Marian, given a bottle of chanpaigne and then blown away by the stunning view! The pictures don't quite do it justice, even though you walk down stairs it feel likes you are very high and hanging over the ocean.

The apartment is quite small but was comfortable for 4 adults and very homely. It was easy access to Nice by public transport and walking and there was a big supermarket just up the street. Our only complaint was that the elevator wasn't working which was not an issue once bags were inside.

Thankyou Derrick for a wonderful stay!

The view is spectacular. Derrick's seaside apartment was lovely, it is compact,yet fully equipped and feels very spacious. The view is exactly why one travels to the Riviera. Waking up to coffee on the balcony and watching the sea, boats and swimmers just starts the day perfectly. The bed was very comfortable, the kitchen is small but packed with everything you would need unless you are planning on roasting a turkey, something I don't worry about on vacation. There is a large dining table with floor to ceiling windows around it which makes having meals very enjoyable. We had the pleasure of meeting both Derrick, the owner, and Marian, the caretaker. Both gentlemen were very accommodating and helpful. As previous reviewers have mentioned, a bottle of champagne was waiting for us and was appreciated.The apartment sits atop a hill from the port, but the walk is not too intense and there is a bus if needed which stops directly in front of the building. The supermarket was a very easy walk. My husband and I did not have a car, we walked a lot, but found the bus very easy when traveling from town to town. I would suggest a bus pass if you do not have a car. To sum up, we loved the apartment and would not hesitate to book again. Thank you Derrick!Thank you Derrick!Thank you Derrick!

This is a wonderful property with fantastic views. It is very well kept and cleaned. The caretakers do a great job and are very caring and friendly, we were warmly greeted with champagne and felt like kings in a palace. We would return for sure, the property is a jewel, many thanks!

My husband and I had the good fortune to stay in both apartments this summer. I had made an error in reserving the apartment and Derrick was flexible and very helpful in figuring out a way to make it work for us. The seaside apartment has a truly glorious view. The bedroom is comfortable. The kitchen and bathroom are quite small but well equipped. We ate dinner in the apartment almost every night, enjoying the view and the wonderful local rose wines. The dishes and wine glasses provided are good quality, unlike with most holiday apartments.

The garden apartment is much larger and provides better facilities for cooking and spending time in the apartment. There is still a nice view from the balcony.

It was difficult finding a good place to park our car. We parked on the street/sidewalk across from the apartment, but then got a 35 euro parking ticket. Bus service into the city and further along the coast were convenient and easy to use. There were several swimming areas close by, and the walking path along the seaside was wonderful.

Overall, we would recommend the property and look forward to staying here again.

Les Néréïdes was a wonderful place to stay. Some of the best views we have ever had from an apartment . We sat and watched the sea and boats for hours, and the best bit is waking up, opening the shutters and pressing the button to raise the bed so you can sit up in bed and watch the sea from your bedroom!

A very small but comfortable apartment with everything you could want for a short stay in Nice.

We stayed in the sea side apartment. From walking in, we were blown away by the stunning 180 degree views of the Bay of Angels and the sea. I could have sat on the balcony just looking out, all day, watching everything from fishermen to swimmers. The apartment is compact, but the floor-to-ceiling glass means it feels a lot bigger. The living room is ample, but would benefit from a television (the only television is in the bedroom). The bedroom is a fair size with ample storage. The bed was very comfortable, which was a bonus. The kitchen and bathroom are both very small, but functional. There is no oven in the kitchen, which we discovered after we bought some pizza, but it wasn't a big deal. Carrefoure supermarket is about 10 mins stroll up the hill (less if you're fit) and there's a pizza takeaway too.There are bus stops outside of the apartment and the buses seemed to run on time. It's a lovely walk from the apartment into the port and beyond and takes about 20 minutes. There's plenty to see and lots of eateries along the way. We were there in November and were amazed to see the number of people swimming, even on the colder days. The Saturday of our stay was a very hot day and it appeared that the 'locals' took full advantage of the lovely weather and took to the water en masse. The owner was very helpful and communication with him was excellent. We stayed in a different apartment, at the other end of the prom, for the last couple of visits, which we really enjoyed. However, now we have found this apartment, with it's stunning views, we hope to return there again soon. So yes,I would recommend this (fantastically positioned) property to everyone - but not when we want to be there - ha, ha!.

My husband and I absolutely loved our time in Nice, especially staying at this nice apartment. The views are way better than the pics. the apartment is clean and comfortable. It was really stunning to awaken every morning to that view, plus well rested from sleeping in such a comfy bed. The apartment is small but has all the amenities you need and it feels much bigger because the back walls are all floor to ceiling windows overlooking the ocean and Nice. Truly a million dollar views. It is about 20-25 minutes walking distance to the center of Nice and it is in a very quiet and safe area with a supermarket less than 5 minutes walking distance. From the beginning Derrick was very helpful and he was kind enough to greet us at the airport at our arrival as he was taking a plane that pm. Our contact in Nice, Richard,was very nice and helpful as well. We just loved the whole experience and I truly felt home away from home. We are definitely going back, hopefuly soon. Thank you Derrick and Richard.

We rented a car but it was very difficult to find a place to park as there is not parking space in the building.

Canon holiday home. Nice and charming, with everything you need, as holidaymakers. Best of all is the location. Super beautiful on a cliff, with stunning views of the sea as well as Nice and surrounding area. We could hardly get our arms down. In addition, it was within walking distance to Nice city (though not too busy) - but nice trip with a lot to look at. However, the beaches were only approx. 5 min. walk from the residence. We greeted the owner of the residence, who would do everything we could to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Only mistake was that our stay was too short. We really want to come again.
