Ground zero for everything Antibes!
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our 35 night stay from late February through March. Unfortunately this property is currently for sale, and so I will confine my comments to attributes that are independent of ownership, if it is still available for rental.
The gem of this property, beyond its exceptionally central and (with a few notable exceptions) quiet location is the terrace. Provided it wasn’t raining we enjoyed two or so hours of midday sun in late February on perhaps 25% surface area of the north-facing deck, sufficient for a very pleasant lunch, and as March progressed these numbers naturally increased. Renters hoping for sun throughout an early spring day should look elsewhere, however; summer visitors will likely wish to avoid the heat, and will appreciate whatever shade the adjacent buildings and the furnished umbrella provide. The adjacent kitchen was well equipped other than having no microwave, and even on rainy days had a light and airy feeling thanks to large windows and skylights. The two bedrooms, both located one level below, were potentially almost as bright, but we usually kept the drapes closed as the neighbor’s windows looked directly into the bedrooms and were a scant two meters away, separated by a narrow alley. Downsides: a neighbor across the alley hosts noisy parties lasting until 4AM (twice during our month stay), and the presence of many stairs makes the property unsuitable for anyone with a mobility problem.
