We stayed at Maeva in august 2007.

The location is a little outside central Nice, just a few kilometers from the airport. Maeva is 5 min. walk from the beach and since it is a little away from central nice the beach is not too crowded.

There is a 30-40 min. walk from the appartment to central nice.

The rooms at Maeva are very small - we had a 4 person apartment and the kids had to sleep in the in bunk beds in the appartment entry.

The biggest problem was that the bathroom had a very unpleaseant odour - smelling damp and moldy.

The place is pretty worn but there is a lovely garden and a very tiny swimmingpool.

For;

Balcony
Mini Golf nearby
Beach not too far too walk
SPAR a 5 minute walk
Swimming Pool (was covered for our duration though?)
Very clean & nice surroundings (garden, view etc)
The price is fine for what you get

Against;

200 EUR deposit (didn't expect it to be too high)
Reception not open great hours and only one member of staff that was English speaking
Were not very helpful or welcoming - didn't give much guidance or promote the city enough
About 40 minutes walk from the main shops
Rooms very small
Tennis courts ?

The studio is fine if you are on a budget holiday and won't be spending too much time indoors.

Nice is a truly lovely place and well worth the visit.
