This is in a lovely part of old Menton. We did have difficulty with the steep winding stairs into the 3rd floor apartment, we are both in our 80s. We had trouble signing into the Wifi but the issue was resolved by the very helpful agent. We also had difficulty with the toilet, the water kept flowing after flushing, finally the water stopped all together. A plumber never arrived before we left. Kitchen well equipped, shower very small. Overall, quiet, beautiful neighborhood. Owner and agent very helpful.

The apartment is a spacious studio well situated in the old town of Menton with superb views over the old town to the sea and citrus garden to the front. It is within walking distance of the market, the seafront and the main tourist attractions of Menton. Jill, the owner, was charming and handled check-in and the apartment has the feel of her second home rather than a dedicated holiday rental. This has both advantages and disadvantages. Although overall we felt at home and thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would stay again, there were a few negative aspects to the apartment. The apartment is very well equipped, but some of the equipment was well used and a little tired. In particular, both the boiler and oven were noticeably noisy. The boiler heated the apartment efficiently (we visited in February) but fired up every few minutes unless the heating was turned off. Part of the oven (we think it was the rotisserie) made a continuous noise even if not in use if there was power to the oven. We had to turn both off at night (the oven at the fuse box) to allow my wife to sleep. The double bed was actually two single sofa beds but we found them comfortable. We found the staircase to the apartment within the building to be quite steep with narrow steps in places and uneven step heights. It could be a problem for someone with mobility issues. Overall, we would particularly recommend the apartment for couples. It might also suit families with up to two children who are happy to all sleep in the same room.

This is a very well equipped, large, comfortable apartment in the most interesting part of Menton. The views are amazing, from the dining table and the sofa you can look out across the roof tops to the sea. The apartment includes beach items, an interesting book case and a kitchen with everything you need, so it's possible to make the most of the local market. We've already booked for next year.

We gratefully passed the winter months of 2015 - 16 in this sunny studio at Menton. The studio is of generous proportions and it's great advantage is that, although not directly on the coast, it has a wonderful sea view to one aspect and a view onto orange and lemon trees on the other. The apartment is well situated in a quiet corner of Menton's picturesque old town, close to the shopping centre and a variety of restaurants. We were very comfortable throughout our stay and found that the apartment was a good base from which to explore the region, including the surrounding hill villages some of which are within walking distance. It has been a wonderful few months and we hope to visit again!
