September 05. Have not stayed in an apartment in France previously and could not find any reviews on this particular one but booked 5 days anyway for the experience! We decided to have a break where we could please ourselves and decided that self catering was the best option. These apartments are fairly inexpensive. You are charged per room and there is no under occupancy charge. We booked a studio apartment for up to 4 persons although there were only 2 of us. There were no 3 person apartments available at the time. Please note you do not get a balcony with the studio apartments. I was expecting one so was quite disappointed but soon got over it. If I were to book again, which is a strong possibilty I would not go for a studio. Ours was very small. The sizes of the studios are given when booking on the internet so we were aware but not prepared for the actual size in real life! The living area had a a table and 4 chairs, a cooking area, which included a fridge, cooker and dishwasher. There was also a coffee maker as advertised. This is no substitute for a kettle. We like our tea so we boiled water in a saucepan. There were plenty of plates and tiny coffee cups. Bring your own cups or drink out of the soup bowls! There was a sofa bed, which when made into a bed took quite alot of the space. It was clean and quite comfortable. It woud be quite a squeeze with 4 people in the room. There were bunk beds in another very small room. We used this room to store our suitcases and clothes as there was a very tiny wardrobe/broom cupboard in the main living area. It really was a broom cupboard with a bucket and brushes and coat hangers stored in it. The cutlery was stored under the television in a cabinet. The bathroom was a decent size but the toilet was very small i.e. your legs touched the door when it was closed and I am a small person!
Booking information for Maeva Felibriges state check in time is 5 p.m.
We arrived at 1.45 p.m. on the off chance and reception opened at 2 p.m. It is not open all day. You get a set of clean sheets and pillow cases at the start of your stay. There is no charge for this but there is a charge of 5 euros for a set of towels and bath mat per person per week. There is also a charge if you use the television. It's the customer's responsibility to clean the room and dispose of rubbish.There is a bin area on each floor. You can pay for a cleaner if you don't want to do it yourself. The apartment was clean when we arrived and the kitchen area and crockery etc.. were spotless. The dishwasher was a boon. Luckily we brought some dishwasher tablets with us. You can buy a cleaning pack from reception. Thought I'd give a detailed description of what to expect as I could find no information before I went and would have appreciated a review. There is also air conditioning and heating in the apartment. We didn't use the pool as there weren't any sunbeds out and didn't see anyone else use it. There was probably no need because these residences are situated a very short walk to public beaches. It was located in close proximity to shops, takeaways and restaurants. You'll be spoiled for choice. We did think the location was ideal. We arrived from Nice airport and took a bus to Cannes which was a 30 - 40 minute ride with absolutely no hassle and it's a short walk from the bus station. We did enjoy our stay and it became almost a home from home and makes a change from staying in hotels. If you like to be waited on in luxurious surroundings this is not the place for you but if you want to totally relax, eat in or out, try cooking some of the local produce then I would recommend it. I would also recommend paying 35E for the cleaning service, which we didn't and had a job getting the apartment spotless at the end of our stay! Not sure how to rate this as not comparable to a hotel but would stay there again.
