Shopaholics rejoice – this apartment on the French Riviera overlooks Cannes’ famous shopping street, Rue d'Antibes. And when you’re not browsing boutiques, the city’s sandy beaches and lively Promenade de la Croisette are just a short stroll away. The home itself centres around the open-plan living area, where you can rustle up a croque monsieur in the gleaming kitchen or relax on the sofa with a glass of Beaujolais while watching the world go by. Although at full occupancy guests five and six will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area, we think this home’s central location makes it a great option for a hassle-free city break.

Home truths:
*At full occupancy, two guests will be sleeping on the sofa bed in the living area.
*You'll reach the nearest beach in just 5 minutes walk
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot at an additional fee. You'll need to request it in advance.
*Given the home's central spot, you may hear noise at times
*Although there isn't a desk here, the dining table doubles up as a laptop-friendly workspace if you're travelling on business.
