Vasco is an amazing host, he will assist you completely through the check in process and with great recommendations on what to do in the city. The apartment is a beautiful and tastefully decorated penthouse in a very nice 5 story building which does have an elevator! The bed was extremely comfortable and there was an air conditioning/heating unit mounted both in the living room and in the bedroom which helped to make our stay and our sleep excellent! The apartment is in an excellent location just 2km or so southeast from the heart of the city. It is located on a great street called Corso Genova which takes you straight to the Duomo if walking northeast and straight to the Navigli canals district if going on that street to the southeast. Also the Colonne di San Lorenzo Roman pillar ruins are just a 5 minute walk to the east which has great bars, restaurants, and outdoor spaces. La Biciclette is a great cocktail bar and hangout for young professionals which can be seen from the kitchen window. Also the pizza at Rosso Pomodoro right down the street was amazing!
