I'm reposting this on the suggestion of Calinurse, since my original title suggested I was just looking for a "nice" apartment.

Thanks to KayF, who stayed in one of these two apartments, I have already received some in the information I'm seeking, but thought I'd repost in case there are others knowledgeable about locations in Nice.

And does it make a difference that I'll be there during carnival?

Just starting to plan a trip to Nice next February or March and am looking at the apartments offered by Nice Pebbles. I'm looking specifically at their Lafayette and Pastroelli apartments, which are just a few blocks apart. Do you think rue Pastorelli is a good location, or is there something negative I need to know about that street?

Here are the links:

Thanks so much for any and all help you can offer.

I think the location is great. It is close to Old Town, Couer Selaya (sp?), the Promenade.

My husband and I love Nice, we also rented from Nice Pebbles and they were great to deal with.

May I suggest Le Petit Maison for lunch or dinner. I dream of their bone marrow with toast. and lobster paster with black truffles. Yum!

Check out Owners Direct for their Nice options as well. These are not managed by an agency - you deal directly with the owner. I have one reserved there in Feb and it looks fabulous.

It is a good location - the street is somewhat commercial, with hotels, restaurants, shops, a bank etc., but not too noisy.

You are in close walking distance to Place Massena and the beach, to the Old Town and to the central train station (about 1/2 mile to each of these destinations).
