I stayed here in late May with a friend in the green room. We had a good experience, but there was room for improvement. As expressed, the experience is very much like staying in someone's home and that comes with its pros and cons.
The location was excellent for site seeing and beach going. Josephine has plenty of recommendations for both rainy and sunny days, both of which we took full advantage! She has a bookshelf of guidebooks and other tourist information for you to borrow and gave us a map on our first day which was great. Wifi is free, which also helped with planning our stay.
She has a really cute dog, Rocco, who helped me cope with my homesick feelings for my own dogs. I would agree that if you don't like dogs, you shouldn't stay here. I personally found having him here a major perk to a homey experience!
I also agree with other reviews that I expected more from breakfast, although not in quantity but in variety. She gives more than enough food to be full all morning! Breakfast consists of fresh croissants, yogurt, OJ, tea/coffee, and assorted breads with various spreads and jams. I think it would be nice if there were a few fruits in addition. Since we stayed for several days, it would have been nice not to be eating mainly bread every morning (although delicious!)
It seemed that Josephine was a bit judgmental of the guests' decisions and eating habits which was unpleasant. She made comments to my friend and me about the length of other guest's showers, made disgusted faces at our sausage and other pork products we got from the market, and made an unnecessary amount of comments in regard to money. It seemed like she felt obligated to sit with us during the entirety of breakfast, which felt a bit awkward and forced.
For the price and location, I think this was a good place but I would probably try something else if I return to Nice. read more
