Franco met us outside his apartment. He was very helpful with advice on local attractions and restaurant locations. It is a great location to visit all tourist attractions (walking distance) however if you are looking for somewhere quiet it is not the place for you as it is located on the ground floor on the main road. The was lots of car honking, general traffic noise and people talking. We only stayed for three nights. Overall it was a good size apartment, only one level and easy street access.
