Lovely flat, very clean and great location. The beams are low as described but not a massive problem so long as you are aware of them. The locks to get in and out are a little tricky and we were asked to leave the keys in the flat on the last day, as you need a key to open the gates from either side this meant unlocking propping open all the doors/gates down to the exit on the ground floor (3 in total), then returning the keys to the top floor and closing all the doors on the way down. We very nearly got locked in the porch and made us think about having to have the keys handy in case of needing to exit quickly. Also there appeared to be an unlocked door between the flat and next door, where we could hear a family. We didn't try the door, but could see the lock in the gap. This meant we kept all valuables with us when we went out. There was noise coming through too, but we didn't hear anything very early/late so wasn't a problem but we were careful to be quiet at night as it must work both ways. We didn't meet Massimo but his communication was excellent. We were shown the flat by his friend who was lovely but spoke only Spanish and Italian and we have only English and German so we kind of had charades!
