We were really looking forward to staying in this apartment, but unfortunately the photos do not reflect the look of the apartment. They were taken several years ago a d it is now much more worn out. We arrived after students had been living in the apartment for a year and had left the placed completly trashed. Even after promised a deep clean (which we had to wait an extra 4 hours to be done), the apartment was still dirty and the surfaces were sticky. The bathroom had mold and shower was temperamental. We had planned a lovely holiday, visiting the markets and touring the various factories (parmesan, balsamic etc) and wanted to be able to experience the culture and cook some lovely food, but we did not feel comfortable to do so in this apartment and had to eat out every day. Location wise, the apartment is in a lovely part of the city, about 30 mins walk to the centre, in a quiet street with restaurants, shops and parks nearby. There is free parking on the street outside.
