The location is PERFECT! I don't know how others can complain about the noise. Giulia's flat is situated near the rear of the building, so you can't hear anything from the street. We had an issue with the AC our first night, but even though Giulia was out of town, she quickly provided us contact information of her colleague who fixed it immediately. The flat is MUCH smaller than I thought it would be. More of a hotel room experience, but very lovely and clean. It was perfect for the 2 of us, but just an FYI if you think you're getting a large flat with multiple rooms.
