My friends and I loved our stay at Fabio's apartment, Fabio and Luca were so helpful on our arrival, taking the cases up the stairs. Situated right at the top of the building, the apartment was clean, tidy, lovely and cool with the air con which was needed after walking from the bus station and up the stairs! Plenty of water in the fridge, Luca translated for us and explained where everything was, giving useful tips of things to do in the city.
Don't be put off by the fact the apartment is down a side alley, as so many of them are and you are going to experience the local feel of the city. In the evening, go left out of the alley and immediate left again to experience all the little shops and restaurants in the area which are so much nicer than the ones on the main road!
The only 2 things I'd stress to future visitors, is 1 - the amount of stairs you need to climb each day so if you have a fellow guest who can't do stairs very well, you'd need to consider whether this apartment is right for you. 2 - The walls are fairly thin so you can hear a fair bit of noise from outside or from neighbours but it that doesn't bother you, cool!
