We didn’t get a chance to meet Federico, but his wife Emanuela greeted us warmly upon checkin, and she is the sweetest host. She kindly let us check in early knowing our early arrival with two young children in tow, and she even had juice in the fridge for us, along with bread and snacks in the kitchen. She also gave us many tips & recommendations on dining options and places to visit. We really appreciated her being so thoughtful and helpful.
One downside is the air conditioner didn’t work well, it was barely delivering any cool air at all, and since the weather during our stay was already quite hot and humid, we had to go out to the stores to cool down instead of relaxing in the apartment after a long day outside, so that was a bummer. Also, the hair dryer was very weak and needed replacing.
The location is great. We walked everywhere and really enjoyed the sights and the restaurants. Would definitely recommend this apartment for people looking for a cozy place to stay in a great location. There are many flights of stairs to climb to get to the apartment though, but good exercise!
