This place is not just a good value. Andrea is an easy-going guy, I didn't have a chance to talk to him a lot, but I think he is very lucky and sharing his apartment with a budget tourists he is not just making some money, but helping them a lot. It is really great that you can stay in a such building for an affordable price. Although the building is old, the rooms are renovated, but not spoiled, which is important too.
I highly recommend staying in this place and go for a walk to the upper town via the centre of down town - you can find there nice buildings from 1930'.
