This nice apartment has all the pros and cons of being in a busy university neighborhood: lots of eateries, supermarkets, and stores, very lively, close to a major train station, metro, and buses...and a little loud. The noise didn't bother us, but this is not a quiet, secluded place. If you enjoy being in a lively neighborhood, this place is great. Francesco is a fantastic host, and he was very kind, helpful, and accommodating.
