First, let's be clear on one thing: Phillipe and Catherine were simply exceptional as property managers. There was a problem or two, and they responded literally MINUTES after we contacted them. Truly remarkable.
They are the managers, however, not the owner of the apartment. The photos are accurate to the extent that they do reflect correct images, but we were under the impression the apartment was a better find than it actually was. That of course was our subjective take.
By this I mean that it was rather Spartan. The living room had one average size sofa, a dining room table, and five or six straight-back chairs. That was all.
The bedroom had a queen-size bed and one easy chair. It also had a small bureau with drawers and a free-standing wardrobe. Adequate, but not more.
As far as decor was concerned, it was essentially non-existent. With the exception of the TV mounted on the wall in the living room, there were no pictures, images or anything else on the wall. None of course was necessary, but it was all very vanilla-plain.
There was a couple from Sweden and another from the U.S. who met us in Menton. We would have liked to invite them over for wine and cheese or some other social event, but the sparse state of the apartment really did not allow for that. We were very surprised. While our Swedish friends stayed in a nearby hotel, our American friends also rented an apartment via VRBO, and in comparison to ours, it was quite splendid. All the socializing was basically done there.
The location is good, just a short walk into town, with restaurants, grocery stores and the like all within a short distance.
In short, not a bad place to stay. But until some major redecorating is done, do not expect anything except a plain vanilla box.
