this gorgeous place is spacious and the value you get versus other big cities is outrageous. it's within walking distance to major sights, and the grocery store is very conveniently located. simone was great and his father, Roberto, was such a delight and a help :) I loved my month long stay here. the only potential negative was that the location is considered not the nicest part of town, but nobody ever bothered me, a solo female traveler. couldn't have been happier with my stay!!
