It's a great apartment (lots of stairs) but after all the pasta and pizza we liked the workout. The metro is close and easy to go to the city center but it's a quiet neighborhood to feel like a local. There is a great gelato on the Main Street across from the supermarket and actually 3 markets to choose from (carrefour is 24/7). Laundry is a few blocks away 7 euros and they wash and dry it in 2 hours.
Nicola is a great host and very detailed. The apartment is spacious, perfect for a couple but with one extra single bed for a child.
