Great location near the main train station, which is where all the hop on, hop off buses start and finish. We got a pass for 48 hours which enabled us to see all the main sites and more. You can also get a bus from there to the airport for 7 euros a ticket.
Carmen’s restaurant recommendations were great. Do beware of accepting bread at the table. We did this at one of the recommended restaurants (Andrea) and were charged 8 euros.
Nice to be able to do all the touristy bits during the day and then come back and relax before heading for dinner in the quieter area surrounding the apartment.
Nice touches in the apartment like an Italian stovetop coffee maker. Perfect WiFi.
