Port Nicea, my studio apartment in Nice
click on any of the photos to enlarge
Our studio faces the inner courtyard of a large new (2001) Residence, 'Port Nicea', named for its proximity to the Port of Nice - only 50 metres away.
The studio is about 40 m sq and has two doors to a covered balcony with automatic watering.
view of the 'Port Nicea' apartments from rue Emmanuel Philibert.
Shower room with the inevitable bidet. I know it's a cliche but we really do wash our feet in it.
View from our balcony - overlooking an inner courtyard with palm trees and water sculpture
