Darsena is an upcoming area that seems quite rough when you first arrive but in fact is really nice and interesting. In the evening it is enjoyable to walk along the canal which has many bars and restaurants which are not expensive. The exterior of the apartment building is not so attractive but inside everything is good. The air conditioning is essential if you go in summer.
Nico was great at arranging everything even though we didn't get to meet him. We had a small problem when our airport transfer was late on departure but Nico called me to let me know what was happening.
