We stayed in Giulio's apartment for four nights in April 2013. Although it is located on a lively street (lots of student bars, pizza and and kebab take-aways), it is at the back and is very quiet. Everything is within walking distance - the center, train station, etc. Breakfast can be enjoyed at the autogrill just round the corner. Plenty of small shops for milk, wine, beer and bread.
The apartment was spotless! Comfortable bed, LCD TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and even a small cooker should you want to warm up something in a pan - but hey, who wants to eat in when there are so many good restaurants!
Giulio is an excellent host. He is very helpful.
We can throughly recommend Giulio and his nice apartment.
