Fabulous view from the terrace. Quiet and peaceful. Nice furniture and well equipped (apart from lack of kitchen knives and a kettle). Supplied with everything else you need such as washing up liquid and bin bags, and even beer and milk when we arrived. Free private parking is a real bonus in Bastia. To find it, follow GPS that owner will send you, and then look out for no 19 on right.

The walk into town is fine going down but quite a struggle going back up. We are in our 60s, and still overtook some couples half our age on the way. Don't be deceived by map from tourist office which makes it look drivable. There are lots of steps.

Marvellous apartement and very kind host. Exceptional view.
