After having visited Menton on a few occasions staying at different hotels we decided to try an apartment this time. We arrived after the reception was closed but a telephone call enabled us to arrive late without any problems. The apartment and the residence were clean and fresh and the little contact we had with the reception was good. The residence is central and walking distance to whatever your interest is. The street below, though at times very busy, did not disturb us at night or day.
BUT the apartment was said to be for four people, we were lucky as we were only two. If we had been two more it would have felt a little like standing room only. Four would definitely not have been able to be on the balcony at the same time. Having spent my entire working life in the hotel industry I know the importance of a good bed. This was a total disaster. If there had been more room in the apartment it would have been more comfortable to have slept on the floor.

My wife and I have stayed at Les Citronniers twice, both times for several weeks. The manager spoke excellent English, the most junior desk clerk none, and, the other desk clerk somewhere in between.

It was almost almost perfect in the ways that matter to us.
- A 40% discount for a lengthy (8 weeks or more) stay.
- A stove, refrigerator, utensils and microwave adequate for four people.
- A comfortable, cheerful apartment pleasant, for a couple to live in for months.
- An easy walk to the covered market, two supermarkets, 12! bakeries and the train station (we did not rent a car). Also, to the Medieval part of town.
- About 100 yards from the sea.
- A balcony large enough for lunch.
- A good modern building; tidy, well managed, and properly heated.

However, to get proper value you must be prepared to change your sheets, and clean your own apartment.

We are 60+ couple who flew to Nice from England and hired car. Maeva town centre location. Ask for room with balcony overlooking nearby gardens. Kitchenette basic but adequate - 2 ring cooker plus microwave - no kettle but has coffee machine. Could be a bit crowded with 4 persons. No English spoken on desk. Apartment clean with adequate linen and towels. No cleaner during week. T.V. but no English stations. Garage underneath building at daily charge. Quiet at night (iin May) Menton has railway station and superb daily food market.
