The apartment benefits from a great location just outside the main hub of Cannes with beautiful gardens & views over the Mediterranean. It is spacious and decorated with some lovely art work that the owner has acquired as well as an interesting collection of art reference books. Unfortunately there are a couple of downsides that due to lack of and old reviews available for this property we were not aware of. Firstly the main bathroom is extremely dated and in need of replacement, to the point that we avoided using. Instead we stuck to the en-suite, this however had not had the filter cleaned and the water would collect in base to the point of flooding over. I purchased some rubber gloves and cleaner and rectified as it was full of hair and other black gunk. Once cleared it was not a problem the rest of the holiday. (I did raise with the owner who said the cleaners are very good and there had never been a problem, he did acknowledged that the main bathroom was in need of updating.) Other minor things like lots of fluff build up in the bottoms of wardrobes, dirty air filters and old food left in the fridge were slightly off putting however overall the apartment made for a great base.The owners niece welcomed us and personally handed over the keys as well as providing some good local knowledge which we were grateful for. We are keen walkers so had no problem for the 20 minute walk along the sea path into Cannes or walking into La Bocca which had good bakeries, supermarkets etc.
