We were greeted half way up the 5 flights of stairs by our host who was kind enough and fit enough to help us carry our luggage up the remaining stairs.
Our host was incredibly nice and friendly, greeting us warmly and patiently showing us everything the flat had to offer. He even suggested eaterie and went up on the top deck to point out the main attractions we could see.
The apartment was spotlessly clean, as were the sheets and towels. Everything was in almost new condition. The whole flat has been updated and the kitchen facilities are very modern. This includes an air conditioner in the kitchen which cooled the whole apartment.
The central location meant we could walk everywhere, which is exactly what we were looking for. It is also situated in a very italian neighborhood ie no tourists at all. We got a glimpse of how the locals live and loved that too. The neighbors were friendly in that lovely laid back Italian way.
The only challenge was climbing those stairs at the end of a long sightseeing day. The extreme august heat meant we couldn't enjoy the views from the many decks. The view was one of the reasons we accepted the stair challenge. The sofa bed we slept on was comfortable but not ideal for tall people.
