It was the best of locations. It was the worst of locations. As for being around it all, couldn't ask for a better location. There were several stations around to get wherever, but mostly we walked. I felt maybe too secure with the four locks (two doors to the building itself) which was a comfort. However....the neighbors...boy oh boy the neighbors....sometimes they were quiet. Sometimes they decided to sing. At one point I'm pretty sure someone attempted to toss half their belongings into the trash only for it to spill everywhere and them to sigh heavily. If you're a light sleeper, you'll do well to bring ear plugs. Truly though, Eric was an excellent host, the internet was amazing enough for my husband to work (including conference calls). It is a bit small so I'd say max two people and if you hate your partner/friend maybe choose a different place or don't go on vacation together. But seriously, I'd recommend it! Eat ice cream/gelato whatever at Amorino between the apartment and the Catholic church. Don't eat at O'Tacos...it's...it's just wrong.
