As you may imagine, real estate prices in the South of France are high – very high. This means that renting a spacious apartment can be a very expensive endeavour. When I moved to Nice, I decided that the cost of renting somewhere with two or three bedroom just simply did not make fiscal sense. Some of the prices I was quoted quite simply beggared belief. So, I decided to opt for a modern studio apartment instead. This was very nice and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, there was one drawback. It means that when people come to visit, I do not have a spare room.

So, when my mum announced that she was coming for a visit, I needed to find a place for her to stay. As accommodation in Nice is so expensive, we found ourselves with a bit of a dilemma. We could go for something in the centre of Nice, but for anything nice it was likely to be very expensive. Or, we could opt for something a couple of kilometres from the centre, which would be far more reasonable. As my mum was keen on doing plenty of shopping, we opted for the latter.

We chose the Etap on Avenue Californie, which is just under 3km from the centre of town. It proved to be a great choice. The rooms were basic, but very clean. They had a double bed, small TV and a simple bathroom. There was also free wi-fi (although it was a little slow). There was, though, no hair dryer or fridge in the room. We were also very pleased to find that the staff spoke very good English and were extremely helpful. As we intended to spend most of our time out and about, the Etap proved a great choice. Had we been looking for a little more entertainment we may have been struggling as Etap markets itself as a simple budget option (it has branches across France). There was no bar, pool, gym or restaurant.

As I mentioned before, the Etap was a litlle bit away from the center. However, the location was excellent as it was on two important bus routes. The 9/10 runs directly into the center of Nice, whilst the 23 goes straight to the airport, which made arriving and getting to the sites very easy. One night at the Etap cost 60 Euros in August, which is very reasonable. In the winter the prices drop even lower. In November it is 50 Euro. Close
