Raffaele was a great host. My husband and I stayed in his apartment for two nights. Our train in arrived about 20 mins late and we got a little lost on the walk to the apt (wrong turn), so arriving after 22 hours of combined plane and train travel, it was nice of Raffaele to great us and let us in upon our arrival. He gave us some restaurant recommendations and bottled water was available for us there. The apt has all the basics you need. The abed was comfortable and apartment was clean. This is a great location for a short stay as it's close to all major transportation. The outside looks more intimidating than it is. Overall we had a nice time at this apartment.
