Alessio, who let us in, was very welcoming and took time to show us good restaurants etc on the map. The apartment was clean and comfortable and there was coffee there for our use and bottles of water in the fridge, which was appreciated. The location is fine - there are shops etc around if you need supplies. It's a good 15/20 minutes walk to get to the Piazza Maggiore, but it's an enjoyable walk as you're passing shops and cafes etc in a lively, pleasant district. Also, I think the location is reflected in the price and this wouldn't stop me staying there again.
