The whole area has a historic building around every corner, a church, a square and an open air café or restaurant.


The apartment is very conveniently located with a small food shop nearby.

And the fountains and buildings are glorious!


You would not know that this was in the middle of a huge metropolis


There are wonderful art galleries nearby

But one does find art of a different sort around the odd corner

with delightful views down narrow streets

So the area is delightfully cool in summer, sheltered from the intense summer heat, and protected from cold winds in winter. To find an apartment to rent here is a rare opportunity.

The studio has laminate flooring. The sofa converts with a simple action into a double bed.


The studio faces the rear of the building with a window overlooking a small courtyard. There is not much light coming in, which means you will have to have the lights on all the time. The studio is so cosy, quiet and convenient that I am sure you won't find this a problem. I haven't and neither has anybody else who stayed there.

There is a table, four chairs, wall to wall cupboards with ample hanging and storage space, a TV and radio cassette. There is a radiator in the room and in the shower room.

There is a duvet, blankets, linen, towels, hair dryer, electric iron and vacuum cleaner.

The kitchen has a sink-unit with mixer taps, a two-ring hob, mini oven, fridge, electric kettle and several cooking utensils. Cutlery, dinner and tea set as well as, most importantly, a corkscrew.

The shower/lavatory is fully tiled and constant hot water is available, but there is no hand-basin.

Location

There is a bus from the airport to the main coach station (Gare Routiere), which is opposite Place Saint Francois, about five minutes from the flat.

The Gare Routiere has services to several parts of France as well as Monte Carlo. The return journey is free.

If you are travelling by train, there is a bus stop opposite the entrance to the railway station, which takes you to the Gare Routiere.
