We arrived at the apartment in the evening and were greeted by Alessandro's father, who was super nice and explained everything about the apartment to us.

Alessandro's place is in a great location, with a lovely Piazza just down the street with a lively Piazza just down the street. The apartment itself is on the ground floor, and has access to a courtyard 'terrace' that is snugly fitted between the surrounding buildings. Only Alessandro's apartment has access to the courtyard, although it doesn't feel very private, given that it's surrounded by other apartments. The place is quite small; especially the shower and the bedroom are extremely cramped. That aside, it was nice enough and had working internet connection, although it wasn't very fast. Since it was on the ground floor it also didn't get too hot. The only other thing to add is that the refrigerator smelled extremely odd.
