Ben and his wife met us at the apartment in the afternoon when they were available. We had an early arrival and they arranged for the housekeeper to accept our luggage while she was cleaning the apartment. My wife and I and our 2 sons (12 and 14) were very comfortable and the 5 flight climb to the apartment allowed us to eat gelato guilt free. It can be a little noisy very late at night as folks head home from the bars but once I closed the windows, I didn't hear anything.
The location is amazing and there is a bike rental station just outside the front door. Recommend highly.
