The apartment was just as pictured. It was spotless and well decorated. It was very conveniently located to transportation--buses and taxi stand at the end of the block. There were several restaurants within walking distance that were inexpensive and served great food. Luca was a great host who had very good recommendations for dining and was very prompt returning our calls. He also was a great help in getting us in and helped us out at check- out time. He was able to provide a driver for us to the airport ,which was very helpful. It was a great experience for us!! Would love to go back and stay here again!!
