I am going to Nice in Sept. Would you recommend an apartment over a hotel or vice versa?

I might not be the best person to answer this; I've been to Nice a couple of times briefly, but I never stayed in a hotel there.

Still, you did say "or Cote d'Azur", so maybe you haven't decided for sure where you want to "base". You may need to provide a little more info to get better advice - - how many people traveling together? need more than one bedroom or bathroom? staying how long?

In any event, I have stayed in three places <i>near</i> Nice, and from my limited experience, I'd take all rhree over Nice itself (but I am NOT a &quot;city person&quot.

So, if nothing else, here's a &quot;top&quot; to your question... and I'll be interested in reading replies.

Best wishes,

Rex

Looks like another newbie lost to bewilderment.

FYI, Nice is smack on the C&ocirc;te d'Azur--which is in Provence (a lot of people get confused about this!).

The decision about an apartment versus a hotel would depend on your length of stay and how much you want to spend.
