Furnished apartments in London?

Seeking apartments in Europe with broadband connection

• I am looking for apartments to rent in different parts of Europe, mainly 1. Cote d'Azur (around Nice or Cannes) 2. London or Manchester 3. Berlin or Munich Most likely I will initially rent on a short-term basis of between 1 and 4 weeks. The main requirements I have are : - must have broadband Internet connection (cable or DSL) - fully furnished (only 1 queen/king double bed required) - fully equipped kitchen, preferably with gas stove and oven - good beach or ocean views preferred (but not essential, obviously not in Berlin :) - must be able to contact agent/owner/etc by e-mail to arrange booking For example, I have found lots of English websites with vacation rentals in Nice, however none appear to list apartments with broadband Internet connections. Where can I find lists of these apartments on the Internet? Or are private owners advertising suitable apartments on individual websites?

  Hello gmh I have found possibilities for all the locations you mention, except Manchester. I have only been able to find larger villas near Cannes and Nice. However, the weekly rents that are listed for one of the villas compare favourably with prices I saw for the Phoenix House apartments in London. Most of the descriptions do not specify the type of cooker. If you are interested in other locations, ACR corporate has many more locations listed.
