The apartment itself is very central (not more than 15 minutes from the city). Don't except hotel-like cleanness (after all it's someone's actual living space), but nothing overly dramatic (expect dog hair, a few waterstains or breadcrumbs so nothing serious). The 'lingering smell of cigarettes', as others described it, wasn't overwhelming and actual didn't bother at all because it was super subtle and Fabio never smokes when someone's in the kitchen or the like. Speaking of Fabio: he was a really welcoming host, providing us with lots of tips, flyers, books, and advices concerning the city and soroundings. All in all it was a wonderful stay and we would stay with him again every time.
