Staying at Résidence Aston La Scala in Nice was a highlight of our trip, mainly thanks to the unbeatable location. Right in the heart of the city, it’s just a short walk from Old Town, the beach, and all the local shops and restaurants — perfect for families exploring on foot. The apartment was spacious and well-equipped, comfortably fitting our family of four with plenty of room to relax. That said, check-in wasn’t smooth — despite arriving after a long overnight flight with kids, we were told the unit wasn’t ready at 4 PM. We had to keep checking back with front desk staff, who weren’t particularly welcoming or helpful, which added stress to an already tiring arrival. Still, the excellent location and quality of the accommodation make this a strong choice for travelers wanting a central base in Nice. It’s definitely worth considering if you value convenience and comfort.

I was really happy with my choice of staying here! The one-bedroom apartment comfortably accommodates up to four guests, perfect for a family trip. Right across the street is a Carrefour supermarket—super convenient for grabbing groceries and cooking our own meals. It’s a bit of a walk to the beach, but Nice is small enough that it only takes about 15 minutes on foot, and the neighborhood is wonderfully quiet. My daughter mentioned the bathroom is a little far from the shower area, but honestly, it didn’t affect our stay at all once we got used to it. Cleanliness overall was good, though no housekeeping service came during our visit—so we took care of cleaning ourselves, which worked fine as long as you bring your own supplies. The staff at reception were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Everything we needed was well-maintained and functional—the facilities are excellent. All in all, this place offers great value, comfort, and a peaceful atmosphere. Definitely recommend for travelers who appreciate a home-like feel with easy access to local amenities.
