Pietro's wife Esmeralda was very gracious and helped us orient ourselves to their neighborhood. The apartment is elegant and modern - completely renovated with high-end finishes and tasteful furnishings. The large, eat-in kitchen makes up for the lack of a living room. The apartment is situated in a quiet courtyard in a cul-de-sac just a few steps away from a busy avenue with many transportation shopping options. The Sicilian pastry shop is a must!
