This property is in the old town area of Cannes, and is well located for all amenities, it being a short walk to beaches, market, the town centre and the many restaurants.

The apartment, decorated to a high standard, is well furbished will all you need to self-cater, albeit that there are plenty of good restaurants close by. In addition to Ruth's recommendations, New York New York american diner was great - big portions at affordable prices. Caveau 30 was also good, especially if you like Art Deco.

The owner Ruth, was extremely helpful and guided us with her extensive knowledge of the area. We particularly enjoyed the jazz evening (free) in Mougins.

I chose a rental car for this trip, to give us the most flexibility, and you can park it in the Suquet-Forville car park, which is very close, for a set fee (which you can pay on arrival). We visited St Tropez and Monaco during our visit, which are easy to get to on a day trip, the fomer via a boat from St Maxime, and there was never a problem getting a car space. St Paul de Vence and Mougins are also gorgeous little villages.

It was hot during our visit with temperatures in the high 80's, albeit that this is unusual, but we weren't complaining! There were also fireworks in Cannes bay on each week during our stay, part of a annual competition.

Overall, the apartment helped make a very enjoyable break for us. Thank you Ruth!
