Alessandro is a perfect host. We were an hour late arriving and, for a number of reasons, were unable to tell him this. He took this in better humor than we expected (or perhaps deserved). He was very careful to tell us all the information necessary for a comfortable stay--about the apartment itself, the location, and even restaurant suggestions.
The apartment itself is small but comfortable as a base of operations. The bed is quite comfortable, and the room quiet, so we slept very well. Highly recommend.
