The apartment is extremely well placed in a quiet back street but with easy access to restaurants, bars, metro,and major sites. The small balcony looked unappealing as the window boxes contained dead plants and there was nowhere to sit. This can't be considered to be a useful area.Alessandro met us at the apartment and was helpful when i texted him for further information. We were however slightly disturbed after leaving the flat, to receive a text asking about his kitchen scissors which he said were there before we came. The idea we would take scissors is ridiculous but when i explained we would never do this, he didn't reply. There was no apology. This spoilt the stay and left us feeling disappointed he should even think we would do this. We left the apartment spotless, as we always do, but there was no appreciation of this shown in his text. A shame as we had thought about returning.
