The Cosy Nest in Antibes

This petite, light-filled apartment is excellent for one person (or a couple accustomed to smaller spaces) It s style is a thoughtful and eclectic one and gives you a sense of the personal touches of the owner, who stays here frequently throughout the year. She shares supplies often missing from typical vacation rental (beach chairs!). It is less than five minutes to the beach, to stores, the daily open market and all of Antibes old town attractions. The apartment has a small comfortable couch and armchair, perfect for watching TV (Netflix, and other streaming services are available if you have an account.) The dining area can double as a work space. The loft is only suitable for smaller people, both because of the loft steps and the height (about tall enough for a 5’6″ person or smaller to SIT. The kitchen is equipped for basic meals. A very serious cook would probably need a bit more equipment. There is no oven but the microwave is a convection one, with the ability to bake, roast, heat, and microwave food). The bathroom is a good one, with one peculiarity which is that the shower is a bit smaller than standard. The bedding is comfortable. The washer is a combination washer/dryer, which is an unusual feature for Europe. At this writing there is a small hum that one can hear only in the sleeping area (coming from a neighboring apartment). It is barely discernible, but in quiet nighttime moments, may require earplugs for light sleepers. The stairs are not, for European old building standards, difficult but they are two full flights with a mild curve to them. Perhaps the best thing about the apartment besides it’s light-filled prettiness is its location. SMACK dab at the entry way to the Old Town, yet amazingly quiet. You can hear the normal level of city noise, but given it’s proximity to restaurants, stores, bars, and bakeries, you are in a peaceful spot. Locks and security work well.
