Gabriel's loggia is a wonderful apartment. Clean and stylish and surpassed our expectations (which, to be honest, were already very high). We had wonderful communication with Gabriele before, during and at the end of our trip. Is there no limit to the extent he will go to to do whatever helps his guests to have the best stay in this fantastic city? He researched restaurants, theatre tours (take the tour around the Teatro Comunale, it's only on the other side of the piazza), markets, pasta making classes etc. He gave us a wonderful welcome on our arrival and arranged a taxi for our departure.
The location is just perfect. In the heart of the University district. As others have said, you can hear the students and wonderful opera singers rehearsing which lends a magical touch to your stay. It's vital and raucous in the evenings as the students and others party away (and then party some more). It's the way of things here. We loved it. The flat itself is cosy and quiet and we slept very soundly. We're already trying to find excuses to come here again.
