The location of the apartment is such, that turning one way out of the main front door leads you to the fashionable side of Cannes whereas turning in the other direction leads you to a more authentic and atmospheric version of French life.
The train and bus stations are within a few minutes walk, providing easy access to Nice airport and other popular locations such as Antibes, Nice and Juan les Pins.

For location you really could not do better for a base to visit this beautiful part of France. The home swap apartment is located in a smart, well-maintained block and was spotlessly clean and very well equipped, providing everything we could have needed including very useful guides and maps of the area which we were able to borrow. Having access to a private garage right on the Rue d'Antibes was an added bonus. Helen was a pleasure to deal with and provided an excellent information pack on the apartment with helpful suggestions of things to do including recommendations for restaurants etc. We would thoroughly recommend the apartment and would love to go back if we visit Cannes again in the future.

We had a wonderful time in this perfectly positioned well-maintained apartment. A car is not essential as everything in Cannes was within walking distance and transport to Nice, Monte Carlo etc is straightforward. We however did have a car as we had planned some trips to Provence to see the lavender fields and with parking at such a premium in Cannes what a blessing the garage that came with the apartment proved to be. The apartment was very comfortable and had everything we needed. By day, it's location in the busy Rue d'Antibes was a perfect spot for watching the world go by. At night it was quiet but only minutes from all the busy night life. There is an abundance of good restaurants round about and shopping from the luxury end of the market to the everyday was right on the door step.
