 ===== Accommodations =====
-Are you staying in Nice? Here are a few thoughts on where to stay.
+To find a short-term rental in Nice, register on platforms like Studapart or ImmoJeune to access thousands of verified ads, where you can apply online, complete your rental profile, and receive answers within 72 hours.  The average monthly rent for a furnished studio or one-bedroom apartment is approximately €560, though prices vary significantly based on location, with the Port and Old Town districts commanding higher rates due to their popularity.
+Key neighborhoods to consider include the Old Town (Vieux Nice) for first-time visitors seeking culture and markets, Jean-Médecin for shoppers near the train station, and Cimiez for a quiet, residential area with museums and green spaces.  Le Port is ideal for those seeking nightlife and harbor views, while the Promenade des Anglais offers beachfront access and upscale hotels, albeit at a premium price.
+Important rental constraints in France require that stays under three months be booked as holiday lets, while longer stays typically require a 1-year furnished lease or a specific "mobility lease" for stays up to 10 months.  Demand significantly exceeds supply in Nice, with 2 to 4 times more inquiries than offers, so it is essential to start your search well before your departure date to secure accommodation.
