This apartment is in the very heart of the ancient city of Bonifacio. The balcony is actually in one the photos on the ad, showing the flying buttresses which attach the apartment building to the church. Bonifacio is a gem of a place, with the upper town being surrounded by thick walls., and narrow alleyways full of restaurants and shops. Tourists flock to the city, most of them by car, which is something that needs to be considered when making plans to arrive. During the middle of the day parking is at a premium. to say the least. The unit owner provides a parking pass, but you need to meet her, or her rep, in order to get the pass. My advice, avoid trying to drive into the upper ville until around 6 pm, at which time it is easier to get a spot in one of the lots reserved for the locals (for which you will have a pass). From our experience you want to avoid driving into Bonifacio between 10 am and noon, traffic was backed up forever.
After dinner the tourists clear out and most of the other visitors return to their mega yachts in the harbor below, leaving you virtually alone in the town.
The unit itself is large and clean, with a full kitchen, modern bath with shower and washing machine, and comfortable living room. The steps up from the street to unit, on the second floor, are somewhat steep, but we managed. Pack light. The AC units worked well during our stay.
We were very happy with this choice and I have a hard time imagining a better location in Bonifacio.
