I can recommend Nice Pebbles and the Bleu Marine apartment. The well located apartment has a tiny balcony with a great view of the Port, with a bistro table and two chairs. There are comfortable Ikea-style furnishings, with sofa, armchair and dining table in the open-plan main room. The smallish bedroom has a queen-size bed, a closet, and two small 2-drawer chests. Bathroom is divided into sink area with another closet with shelves; and a toilet room with a walk-in tiled shower. The apartment is very quiet when windows are closed at night, and has decent wifi. It is on the third floor in an elevator building (which was broken over a weekend, but the 84 steps helped burn off lunches and it was fixed Monday morning), and was a great value. The galley kitchen worked well, though equipment could have been better for serious cooking. Countertop convection oven/microwave, toaster, coffeepot, enough pots, pans etc. for casual cooking. It was a five minute walk either to Plaza Garibaldi (Monoprix, tram line and buses, restaurants) or to the Old Port (bus east to Monaco; or buses across the city), restaurants and shops. About a 10 minute walk into Old Town, either from Garibaldi or along the waterfront. Nice is a comfortable city to explore and get to know, and the apartment made a great base. One facet to be aware of is the elementary school across the street from the balcony, if hearing children during the day isn't your thing.
Nice Pebbles was great to work with, both before and during the rental.
