Luca gave us a gracious welcome and was helpful in letting us have a late check-out.
Our stay was fine, but not great. The AC does not work to cool the whole apartment so we ended up sleeping in the living room. The apartment is easy to get to, and use as a base for seeing sights, but it is in a run-down neighborhood and the building has some dirty parts (the inside of the apartment is clean). If you plan to eat out, you will be fine, but preparing food proved challenging in the under-equipped kitchen.
