The Cosy Nest in Antibes
AntibesApartmentSleeps 1
Biggest pluses
Hard to decide…so many pluses, but probably the fact that you are in the dead center of Antibes’ old town, full of lively activity…yet your apartment is beautifully quiet 90% of the time (You’ll hear the occasional neighbor when windows are open.) Each time you walk out your door, you’ll be surprised how central you are, yet in such a peaceful feeling nest.
Perfect for
A single person, (with occasional guest) who loves the beach and the old town atmosphere. Someone who wants both peace AND the life of the town
Good to know
Small audible hum in the sleeping area. Not audible in any other part of the apartment. No oven, but a microwave which bakes and roasts.. Slightly smaller than a standard American sized shower. Two flights of stairs. Parking: Paid parking available nearby (within 100 yards) at Port Vauban or QPark Pre Aux Pecheurs. Taxis/Ubers can drop off and pick up within about 25 yards of the building entry, but it is a pedestrian-only street and there is no parking immediately adjacent to the building. Very difficult to find free parking nearby. Although, in general, properties on Longer-Stays are nearly always only available in OFF-peak season (i.e. Not June, July, August) , The Cozy Nest is sometimes available for 4-6 weeks at a time from May-August. Please feel free to ask the owner about availability during the busier season.

About the locale
Antibes is both a very Cote D’Azur (full of sun, sea and, in season, tourists and year round, the very very wealthy) and another experience all together. The old city, perched right next to the deepest marina in the Mediterranean has the traditional charm of any medieval town on the coast. In the summer, it’s mobbed. On the weekends year round, it’s still busy, but pleasantly so. Its daily covered market and countless cafes and restaurants don’t close up out of season and many of the patrons are local year round residents. You’ll always be rubbing shoulders with the fancy folk, but you’ll also find off-season rental here introduces you to very everyday French who also call Antibes home, in addition to a lively population of young people who crew on the countless yachts in the marina.
