The 2 bedrooms apartment is on the 4th floor (of 6 and there is a lift) of a building located in the exclusive area of Nice called Mont-Boron (Boron Hill. You might have heard about it since Architectural Digest published pictures of Elton John property, located in the area). You may easily locate the apartment on a map since it's between the "basse corniche" (also named bd Maeterlink,along the seacoast) and the "moyenne corniche" (also named National road 7 going to Monaco). Or you locate any area of Nice here:
Completely renovated by an architect in an italian-provencal fashion, it has a living room with a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, the Promenade des Anglais, the Alps, the Esterel Mountains and the old Nice. Since the apartment is on a hill, the view is almost comparable to the one you have from a plane. The bedrooms open on a large terrace which overlooks a city owned park on a hill. Bedrooms are covered with hard wood floors while the common areas are covered with tiles from Tuscany. The bedrooms have 2 beds each but in the master bedroom, they are attached to make one bed. The kitchen opens up onto a small balcony with a beautiful panoramic ocean view. The 3 orientations of the apartment from east to west provides during summer time a very pleasant breeze and sun all day all year around. This explains the absence of air conditioning, in most cases, fans are enough. You can then have your breakfast and look at the sea as the sun rise and have your diner with the same view as the sun set with a beautiful view of the illuminated city and it's Promenade des Anglais. Because of the unique location, the apartment is exceptionally quiet. There is a private garage for one car.
Equipment: The apartment is fully equipped (a dish-washer, washer-dryer combined, fridge, stove, microwave) plus a numeric cable television (100 chanels, including CNN, BBC world, TV5 with Radio-Canada news in the morning) and high speed internet, a radio-cd player. All windows have electric shades. Beds and furniture are new, except early XlX century provencal chairs in the living room and a large Louis-Philippe wardrobe in one bedroom. Also included are pots and pans, cutlery, glasses, dishes, chairs for the terraces and - usually not included in rentals - bed sheets and towels. Moreover, spices, dry herbs and cleaning liquids are left in the apartment for your convenience. Their replacement is expected.
