The location is perfect, within easy walking distance to the sights and very close to a taxi rank for the trip back to the airport (€48 flat rate and worth the convenience.) The apartment is comfortable although the main beds are in the two lofts with steep steps which can be problematic if you enjoy the local wine!! There are sofa beds on the ground floor although I think the space would be tight if you used all the beds. We were 4 adults and we were only there to sleep and it was fine for us. The kitchen is properly equipped (no dishwasher) but small and I, personally, do not think you could really cook a full meal there. It is fine for breakfast. We did not meet Marco but he was very responsive to messages. Good base in a great city!
