Alessandro is a considerate host and was very helpful with information. The accommodations we stayed in were very basic - a bedroom and bathroom with no kitchen. He explained there are two apts, one has a kitchen and overlooks a busy, loud street and the other faces the other direction but no kitchen. The apt has quite a few stairs (5th floor) so be prepared to walk. The surroundings are as advertised - artistic with paintings and various statuary in a beautiful part of the city.
