My charming studio in Nice, France is ideally located in the old town and is a three-minute walk to the beach. 

The city of Nice is located in the heart of the French Riviera, one of the world’s most desirable stretches of coast. Discover excellent food and wine, interesting culture, and beautiful scenery. Nice is also a good jumping-off point for other popular European destinations by car, train, ferry, or plane with its well-connected international airport. 

Explore nearby hotspots: Cannes, Monaco, Menton, and the French Alps.

We spent a wonderful week in Anne's appartment. It's super central - a couple of minutes walk to the coastal esplanade, right in the centre of the old city, and very close to tramway and bus stops. Amazingly, the place is still very quiet, as the appartment faces the rear of the building- we slept with the window open. The appartment is very small, but had everything we needed. It was great to have such a central base from where to explore Nice and other parts of the Côte d'Azur. Anne was very helpful, leaving clear instructions and many useful tips on things to do nearby. Thanks a lot for hosting us!

Anne is such a wonderful host. We stayed with her many times in different cities, and she with us in our home in the Caribbean. With that said, her place in Nice is perfect. Excellently located, wonderfully equipped and incredibly comfortable. In the center of old town Nice, the apartment is close to everything. The best stay ever!!!

I had a wonderful stay at this charming home in Nice! The location is simply unbeatable, just steps away from Promenade des Anglais and the sea. It made it so easy to enjoy everything Nice has to offer, from the lovely restaurants to the beach. The apartment itself is stylishly decorated in a cute, blue theme that kind of makes you feel like you're living on a boat. The South of France vibe is evident in every detail. I also want to highlight the great communication with Anne. She was always available and incredibly helpful, making my experience even better. Anne ensured that everything went smoothly, and I truly appreciated that. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to experience Nice at its best and can’t wait to go back for a future exchange with Anne.

Anne is an amazing exchange partner! We were so very lucky to stay in her studio apartment in Paris in April for 2 nights and then 6 nights in her Nice apartment. Location, location, location! Nice was perfect 2 guests, out exploring all day and a nice sanctuary to sleep and shower. We didn’t cook, but the kitchen was stocked with everything you would need. It was a perfect stay!

Home Feedback: Joanna stayed with Anne 5 months ago

I couldn't think of a better place to visit Nice as a solo traveller (or as a couple) than Anne's studio! Her studio is small, but comfortable, well organized, warm and above all so well located in Vieux Nice, just a few steps from the Promenade des Anglais and the Cours Saleya. The studio was very clean when I arrived. Anne's instructions for arrival and departure were precise. Anne did everything to ensure that I had everything I needed and that my stay at her place was a success. Communication with her was friendly and easy. I can't wait to welcome her back into my home in Montréal! I loved every minute I spent discovering Nice: a colourful and vibrant city! If you have the chance to stay with Anne, don't miss out!

Hosting Barbara and Tony was a wonderful experience. They were excellent guests—friendly, great communicators, and treated my home with care and respect. I’m happy they enjoyed their time in Nice and would highly recommend hosting them if you have the opportunity!

It was a pleasure hosting Joanna and Patrick in Paris once again. Just like before, they were wonderful guests and a joy to communicate with. Thank you, as always, for taking such great care of my home and for sharing your Paris adventures with me. You’re welcome back anytime—though next time it will be in Nice, as I’m bidding farewell to my Paris studio!

It was an absolute pleasure to host Erin, Peter, and their son during their stay in Paris, especially as one of my final guests in this apartment. Erin was communicative, respectful, and they all took wonderful care of my home. I’d gladly host them again in the future if I have a space large enough for three! Erin went above and beyond by bringing me some items I ordered from the US, and I cannot express how grateful I am for such a generous gesture. Sincerely, thank you.

You’re so very welcome. Maybe one day 2 of us can visit Nice 😊

It was a pleasure to host Scott and Christy again, this time in Nice. Just like before, they were amazing guests and a joy to communicate with. I even had the chance to meet them in person in Milan the day before they arrived, which was such a treat! Thank you, as always, for taking such great care of my home and sharing your adventures in and around Nice. You’re welcome back anytime!

It was a pleasure hosting Sarah and her daughter for their short stay in my Montmartre studio. Sarah was communicative, respectful, and they took great care of my home. I would gladly welcome them again in the future!

Rosa may be new to the PLU community, but she already feels like a perfect fit. Communicating with her was a breeze—she's prompt, friendly, and thoughtful. She took excellent care of my home in Nice, and I would be delighted to host her again in the future. I believe we've formed a friendship through this exchange.

Staying at Lisa and Kevin's home was a true delight. Their hospitality was unmatched, and it was such a pleasure to spend time with them in their incredibly spacious and beautiful backyard while our dogs happily played together. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals, which we enjoyed on the lovely back patio. The house itself was spacious and provided a comfortable night's sleep. During our week in Cape Cod, we explored extensively, and their home's great location made all our day trips possible. It was my first time visiting the Cape, and I fell in love with the stunning views, friendly locals, and amazing food. Lisa and Kevin's generosity, especially in helping us on our departure day, truly highlights the special nature of the PLU community. I hope to return the favor by hosting them in Nice someday, especially if it means I get to pet-sit Charlie Brown in the future!

Karine made us feel completely at home during our stay. Our little corgi, Blueberry, was thrilled with the thoughtful treats Karine provided, while we thoroughly enjoyed the wine, fresh bread, cheeses, fruits, and vegetables she gifted us. We spent a lot of time in Karine's home, especially watching the Olympics, and it was such a unique experience staying in a historic building. The large windows were beautiful, and the electric blinds were perfect for when we wanted to darken the space. The kitchen was well-equipped for cooking our meals, and the rooftop offered a fantastic view of the skyline. My husband made great use of the gym access every day, which was a wonderful bonus! After a day of exploring, we were always happy to return to a super comfortable bed. Thank you, Karine, for being an ideal host and for your kindness, responsiveness, and attention to detail.

I've stayed in Rosa's home twice now, and just as I wrote last time (very descriptive review, please see), it has been absolutely wonderful staying in her home.

Home Feedback: Anne stayed with Rosa Victoria 3 months ago

It was a delight to meet Rosa and stay in her home. Located in my favorite part of Paris—Montmartre—the area is rich in culture, history, and charm. Arranging the exchange and the check-in process were both seamless. The apartment stayed pleasantly cool with a fan during the summer, and it never got too warm inside. The building even has an elevator, which is a rare find in Paris. The apartment is thoughtfully decorated, with great attention to detail, and the natural light streaming in from the balcony window adds to its charm. I highly recommend dining at Le Moulin de la Galette, a historic restaurant and one of the last two remaining windmills in Montmartre, and catching a show at Cabaret Au Lapin Agile, the oldest cabaret in Paris—both are just steps away.

My dad, pup, and I stayed for a week at Carolina's home in Portland. I offered a globe for this stay, and I'm glad I did. Carolina's home is the perfect spot to enjoy some of the best attractions Portland and the surrounding area have to offer. Her swift communication ensured that everything went smoothly upon check-in and departure. I really enjoyed the covered back patio while drinking my coffee and planning my day's adventures. The apartment is well-designed, with everything you could need, plus a very comfortable bed, sofa bed, and shower. The kitchen is fully equipped as well. Portland is fantastic, with so many places to visit within the city. Thanks to Carolina's helpful suggestions, we always had great meals and enjoyed cool restaurants and bars. Her excursion recommendations were also most welcome. I highly recommend her apartment and location. Carolina embodies what it means to be a great PLU home exchanger.

Scott and Christy's home is the perfect spot to enjoy some of the best beaches Sint Maarten / Saint Martin has to offer. Their swift communication ensured that everything went smoothly. I spent countless hours on their huge balcony, taking in the sweeping landscape of both the French and Dutch sides of the island, overlooking the lagoons and sea. The apartment is well-designed, with everything you could need, plus a very comfortable bed and shower. I spent five weeks on the island, with 3.5 of these weeks at their home, and I really hated to leave. The beaches were fantastic, with early mornings at Mullet Bay where my pup and I often had it completely to ourselves, and often going to Simpson Bay later in the day to enjoy the excellent service at Mary Boon's restaurant and beach bed services. Having access to the apartment complex's pool was really great too, and I often enjoyed the pool in the evening. There are also lots of restaurants and a grocery store within walking distance. I highly recommend their apartment and location. Scott and Christy embody what it means to be great PLU home exchangers. I enjoyed interacting with them, exploring based on their recommendations, and eating at their favorite eateries, ensuring I experienced some of the best cuisine the island has to offer. I consider them dear friends now, and welcome an exchange from them anytime.

I felt completely rejuvenated after staying at Dawn and Dave's apartment. Each morning, I started my day with coffee on their lovely deck, watching deer wander through the yard. I enjoyed walking around their neighborhood with my little dog; there were so many great places to explore nearby. After a full day of hiking and exploring, relaxing in their huge jacuzzi tub was perfect. The kitchen was fully equipped, making it easy to cook whatever I pleased. The comfortable beds and variety of pillows ensured I had a restful night's sleep. Everything in their home was so well thought out, I left wanting nothing. It was also a pleasure to meet Dawn and Dave in person—they are truly lovely. I can't wait to host them in the near future and return their generosity.

Anne and her wonderful and well-behaved travel companion, Blueberry, Maine, we an absolute delight to host at our loft in Port Angeles, WA. Friendly, thoughtful, communicative and timely. She is a perfect representation of the ideal PLU guest and new friend. When her travel plans changed due circumstances beyond her control, she let us know right away and dealt with the interruption with grace and good nature. She cared for our space better than most friends or family, even making friends with our cleaning partner. Without whom, we couldn't open our home to others. She even left us thoughtful gifts behind. We are grateful that our schedules allowed us to meet in person and look forward to staying in her home in the future. Another amazing PLU story for the books. Just the greatest group of new friends and wonderful humans on the planet!

Just like during their stay at my Paris apartment, Joanna and Patrick were perfect guests. I would host them anytime. They are very respectful, easy to communicate with, and exemplify why the PLU community is so wonderful. Please feel free to return anytime!

I finally made it to Oregon, and I’m glad that my dad and I spent a week in Portland, a city that is very friendly and has so much to offer. There are endless things to do in the city, but also many sites to explore within 30 minutes to 2 hours away. It was so nice to come back to Cassie's home after a long day out and enjoy sitting on the covered back patio, ideal in a city that rains/sprinkles a lot. The bed couldn't be more comfortable, and I really appreciated that Cassie invested in high-quality pillows. The house has everything you need for a comfortable stay. This was a globe well spent. Thank you, Cassie!

Joanna's home in Napa is absolutely charming, with its pretty yellow color and lush plants all over the front and back yards. Located in a delightful neighborhood, I enjoyed walking into town a couple of times a day, admiring the neighboring houses and yards. The town itself is wonderful and offers a lot. Joanna's home is decorated with great attention to detail. I especially loved drinking my morning coffee and sipping wine in the evenings on her stunning back patio. When it was sunny, I enjoyed the covered front porch, sitting in her comfortable porch chairs. This home and location deserve a much longer stay than I was able to give it. After exploring during the day, it was wonderful to return to such a comfortable home and cozy bed. Communicating with Joanna was very easy. Everything about this stay was perfect, largely thanks to my host, Joanna.

I had the perfect stay at Liz's lovely home. My dad and I enjoyed sipping the local Napa wine she gave us on her sunny balcony, which overlooks the neighboring houses on different levels, typical of San Francisco's hilly terrain. Her home is right next to Alamo Square, and I visited the park several times a day to take in the sweeping cityscape views and chat with locals. Every night, I got excellent sleep on her very comfortable bed and reenergized in a beautifully decorated home with an incredible bathroom. Getting around the city was easy, thanks to the apartment's central location. Staying here was such a joy, and I hope we exchange homes again in the future. San Francisco has so much to offer, and I've never been more comfortable on my many trips here than I was in Liz's home.

New Mexico is incredibly special and has always been one of my favorite states. Sally and Pete's home in Taos offers stunning views of the landscape that will make you want to return year after year. Located in an isolated area, I saw wildlife every day and enjoyed unobstructed views of nature. Despite its seclusion, the home is close enough to town for all the conveniences you need. Day trips to nearby towns are easy, and Santa Fe is a must-visit. The balcony is the perfect place to enjoy meals with sweeping views, and the bed is spacious and very comfortable. Everything about this stay was wonderful, and Sally and Pete are exceptional hosts.

Karine was an ideal guest. Her communication skills are excellent, and she left my home spotless. I've enjoyed our interactions immensely and appreciate her respect for my space.

I was delighted to welcome Sally and Pete to our Paris home for a week in April 2024. Communication before their arrival was excellent. They proved to be ideal guests, treating our home with care and respect. They cleaned the apartment very well and went above and beyond in helping prepare our home for the next set of guests arriving after their departure, which was greatly appreciated. I would not hesitate to host Sally and Pete again, but hopefully at my home in Nice. My mom and I are looking forward to visiting their home in Taos in a couple of weeks!

I am originally from the US and earned my Ph.D. from SMU in Dallas. I moved to Italy ten years ago, where I eventually ended up meeting and marrying Matteo. He often travels with me, but sometimes I travel with my dad and/or one of my nieces and nephews. I teach history and US and global politics. Right now I work remotely, so I am able to travel much more than my husband. We recently adopted a corgi dog named Blueberry Maine because we love Maine and blueberries so much. While we are residents in Lodi, Italy, we have studios in Nice and Paris, France, making it pretty easy to swap.
