The historic Rue Benoit Bunico will lead you in a very short walk straight to the gorgeous beach at the Baie des Anges and famous Cours Saleya with its antique and flower market and the large al fresco open air dining street. Discover hand made pasta shops, local soap manufacturers, olive oil vendors, pubs, bars and nightclubs mixed with French locals living peacefully in this maze of cobbled narrow streets. Simply follow the street a few short minutes to walk directly to beautiful Beach Castel Plage, or go the opposite way to the green park Promenade du Paillon.

You will be very conveniently located next to a legion of bakeries, grocery stores, pharmacies, restaurants and cafés. However, the Old Town's charm and ambience may not be for everyone. There are a few downsides to staying in the city's ancient heart. The ancient Italian palazzo from 1795 where Opal is located does not have a lift, the apartment is located on the third floor. Normally no problem as the open staircase is wide, but I like to give a clear picture before you arrive. Remember, this is a residential area is where people live and work. You may hear the garbage collectors rumbling through the narrow streets early in the morning from the master bedroom (the shifts and times vary, but the street cleaning can be noisy!) or people making their way home from a night out on Weekends of pub nights. While one bedroom faces the side street, the other bedroom faces the indoor patio and is completely quiet.

This is a gay friendly apartment and neighborhood.

Staying in the Old Town will make you fall in love with its bohemian spirit. Exploring it should be high on your list of things to do when you visit!

I will do my best to accommodate an early check in or late check out if needed, yet this depends on the arrival of the next guests. Please do note that a check in after 9PM has a surcharge of 25€.
