Giuliana greeted us with her son Alex. They explained everything we needed to know about the apartment. They took our passports and made copies of them which they needed for police or their records. That part was unclear but they were very welcoming. They left us croissants, fruit and yogurt which was really kind.

The apartment is advertised as three bedroom. It is two bedrooms and a living room which has a sofa bed. This wasn't quite suitable for our party.

It's a great neighbourhood. We couldn't ask for a better location. There are nine flights of stairs to climb but that didn't matter for us because of the location.
