Alvise is a terrific host - extremely helpful and friendly. He went all out and provided breakfast and basic groceries upon our arrival. He also stayed for about half an hour to make sure we were settled and to answer all of our questions. As for the apartment, is it spacious and beautiful! We loved staying there and would highly recommend this place to families or for several couples. It was beautifully decorated, super clean, and in a comfortable and convenient neighborhood. There are plenty of great restaurants on the side street next to the apartment and a taxi stand and train station within a 2-5 minute walk. Strongly recommend!
