Great neighborhood, very local yet the center is easily reachable. Nice apartment--nicer than photos suggest. Host was kind and helpful and the gift of olive oil was a nice touch. As another reviewer mentioned, the bedrooms on the street side get noise from the traffic on the busy road outside. I was aware of this (I'm a very light sleeper) so I slept in the single bedroom on the other side of the apartment and it was fine. The rest of my family had no problems sleeping.
