Nestor&Jeeves - PALAIS NICOLE - Central - Very close sea

We stayed for 5 nights at Palais Nicole. A nice, large, comfortable 2 bed apartment, slightly dated bathrooms but fully equipped kitchen including sponge, tea towels and dishwasher tablets. 2 spacious bedrooms, bath towels and even mats and umbrellas for the beach, which is a short walk away. Also a short walk to the supermarket. We had to pick up and drop keys from a different location approx a 10 min walk away. Overall a lovely stay in a good location.

We had 2 bathrooms but couldnt use any taps or showers at the same time as each other otherwise the water temperature would either get very hot or very cold and fluctuate between the two. We did mention this to the concierge who said there was nothing she could do. It was also very hot the week we stayed (30+ degrees) and there is no AC in the apartment. There are ceiling fans in the kitchen area and bedrooms and we were given one tall fan and one small fan. It was difficult to keep the apartment cool. However we appreciate we came at the height of summer during a particularly bad heatwave.

The location was hreat, quiet building. Noosy outside but w window closed quiet. Large space.

We would have liked some pepper, oil. A map of area, suggestions of restaurants.

The location was fine for us. It was easy reach for every day items food etc. Restaurants are a 10 minute walk away with great choice. We did have to do a good bit of walking as it was out of the centre. As the week progressed we started using the tram, bus and train. All very good and easy to use.

The apartment was a good size. It had two bath rooms one of which we did not use as it had a very unpleasant smell. The one with the washing machine in it. We did use the cleaning products available but it did not help. Unfortunately and out with the control of the owner the back bedroom which we preferred to use as it is away from street noise suffers from food smells coming from the hotel kitchens which neighbour the property. We kept the window/doors closed. We booked an airport transfer through Nestor & Jeeves. We were quoted 45 euro. The transfer worked well taking us for the keys and on to the apartment. We were charged 50 euro. I raised this with N&J who said they were unaware of the price rise.... They are still quoting 45 euro..... I informed them that I no longer wished the return transfer and they confirmed it was cancelled. On our departure day I was contacted by the transfer driver stating he was at the property to collect us!!! He clearly had not been cancelled by N&J

It was clean and very spacious.

Nothing in particular comes to mind.
