This place is a gem! Very comfortable and well-equipped, and Gabriele is such a welcoming and helpful host. The communication was excellent! I especially appreciated his list of restaurant and cafe recommendations- made the nightly choice for dinner very easy! One note for my fellow light sleepers: the nightlife on Piazza Verdi (right around the corner from the apartment) is very lively and seems to go late into the night (ah student life!). Noise cancelling headphones or earplugs are helpful, and I actually slept like a log (the bed is very comfortable).
In short, if you can find some free dates on the calendar to stay here- don't hesitate! I'm planning on returning in warmer weather to make full use of the terrace- the view of the two towers alone is worth the price of admission!
