We stayed in Fabio's apartment for 19 nights during the Olympics. The location was excellent and only maybe 200 metres from the beachfront. The windows were double glazed which helped the noise levels however you could still hear the street noise to some extent however it didn't distrupt our sleep at all. The only real problem we had was no gas for the first 6 days due to a fault out on the street. This affected our entire building and this was was out of Fabio's control. He kept in touch with us during this period to let us know what was happening. We also requested a partial refund for which he was more than happy to provide. Fabio always communicated extremely well right from the time of our initial booking. I would recommend this apartment.
