Lots of work has been put into making your stay easier here. There is a welcome book in English explaining the neighborhood and the home and where to find everything. Daniele is very helpful and proactive with all questions. It was a cute place. Coming from Canada we had a bit of culture shock with the amount of noise you can hear between apartments. That being said, it was a fairly quiet place for what was possible to hear. The area is a great location for metro but at night my son felt nervous. If you are used to city living this is the perfect place to stay.
