Elvio is a wonderful host. The apartment was very clean and welcoming with a good amount of space and many special touches. The location was excellent with a beautiful view of the Bascilia Dome from the balcony. We had one issue strictly due to excessive heat in August. There are several air conditioning units but the apartment remained very hot throughout the night, I believe this would just be an issue for American guests as normally we like colder temperatures when A/C is on. Communication with Elvio prior to arrival was excellent and he went out of his way to meet us 12 hour after our expected arrival.
