The spacious 3 room apartment (64m2) full of character has been completely renovated in high quality. Fresh, tranquil and light, It faces out over a quiet side street and inner patio, on the breezy third floor, with a cool organic bistro and café downstairs. The spectacular Cathedral Sainte Reparate and Place Rosetti just around the corner, you couldn't be in a more awe inspiring location with countless art galeries, restaurants and boutiques all around you.

The apartment will host 4 persons comfortably, the living room couch transforms into an additional bed for a guest, if needed.

The historic and notorious 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. The spectacular Cathedral Sainte Reparate and Place Rosetti just around the corner, you couldn't be in a more awe inspiring location with countless art galeries, restaurants and boutiques all around you. 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 brand new opened 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 and 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 (it lasts only a minute) 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. Guests tell me, they sleep wonderful in both rooms.

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!

There is a direct bus from the airport for 6€ that stops a minute's walk from the apartment, ride takes 20min. The super convenient, modern tram stops right around the corner.
