"Our stay in this apartment was fabulous! Our host, Joseph, was very welcoming and gracious and provided some great advice on what to see, restaurants to try, etc., as this was our very first trip to Corsica. Joseph was wonderful to deal with from the booking process, right through to the end of our stay. The apartment was very clean and organized. There were three of us and we found it very comfortable, like being home away from home. You could not ask for a more convenient location. The apartment is literally in the heart of old Ajaccio. It is exactly 150 footsteps away from the house Napoleon was born in, we counted them! How cool is that?! The apartment is right by the port, close to so many nice restaurants and bars. There are also many markets and bakeries in the area which was great. There is a beach right nearby but it is very small, just a narrow strip. However, there is a bigger beach the further you walk down the main road along the coast. It is actually a very nice and scenic walk to get there and not that far. If you rent a car or take public transit, I'm sure you can find some spectacular beaches. We were there at the end of September so that was not a big priority for us. We loved the location of this apartment. It was close to everything. Another important point that we would like people to be aware of is that we found Ajaccio to be a very safe town. We were three single females travelling together and that was a concern for us but we found everyone to be very friendly and helpful. Regarding the interior of the apartment, it is on the second floor of the building and there is no elevator. We did not find it difficult getting up the stairs at all, but it may be a problem for someone with mobility issues. There is a separate bedroom and a big Murphy bed in the living room. We found the beds to be very comfortable. Because the apartment is located in a lively area, there is noise at night if the windows are left open. However, once the windows are closed you can't hear anything outside. There is air conditioning so there's no issue if you have to keep the windows closed. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need in order to dine in. All the appliances were in perfect working order. The bathroom was great and the shower was a good size as indicated in the description. Clean towels and linens were provided. We highly recommend this apartment to anyone who is looking to stay in charming Ajaccio."
