What a place! This is a fantastic apartment in a great location. We loved the period features and decorations, it felt special to be staying there. Francesco was an excellent host. His father met us on arrival and was very welcoming and helpful in giving information about the apartment and local area. Francesco’s house and area guide was excellent, giving lots of ideas on what to see and do, as well as where to eat and drink. (Manella, just round the corner is fantastic for breakfast in the morning, or Gelato in the evening!) The location is great for access to the metro and funicular stations as well as being close to the Lungomare. The local area is great for eating and shopping. The apartment building is on a busy road, which can get quite noisy, but gets quieter at night - Francesco kindly provided earplugs, which really helped - he really has thought of everything! Overall we can’t recommend this place highly enough. We had a wonderful stay. Grazie Francesco!
