Nice unit, beautifully decorated, with many kitchen amenities including microwave and espresso machine (no oven or dishwasher). Beautiful patio and amazing pool. Weirdly, no loungers by the pool. Also, unit has no windows, only sliding doors, so exposure to fresh air is at your own risk since this is a first floor apartment facing the street.

Area is 15-20 minute walk from center of town, which is charming and full of seaside restaurants and fun bars, though this is not Paris. Late night dining is needle in a haystack. However, apartment is directly across from a McDonald’s and right next door to a large supermarket. Also next door is an interesting botanical garden. Apartment complex is almost directly on the beach. Construction until 2019 means that there are no food stands near this beach currently, but the walk along the shore into town isn’t strenuous.

Apartment thankfully and generously comes with a parking spot. It is TIGHT even for a compact car, but after a few times, it’s pretty easy. Is a car required in Juan les Pins? It was useful to make daytrips to Antibes, Nice, and other nearby Riviera towns.

Although guests must provide their own toilet paper and laundry detergent, Alex generously left us with a bottle of wine and snacks.

NOTE: For Americans used to freeflowing WiFi, France is a bit different in most areas. It barely worked with one user at a time, and ground to a complete halt when two were on.

Host was kind and accommodating. It’s a bargain for the price.
