To use the words the kids wrote in Simome's guest book, the loft is "wonderful, cozy and full of character" and Simone gave "great recommendations for food places" around nagivli grande. In addition, we appreciated Simone personally coming over to say hi, making sure everything was ok, and giving us suggestions and answering questions (after giving us very clear instructions on how to do self check in and where to go, what to visit... that were already in writing both via email and in guest information found in the apartment)
He was extremely well organized and friendly from the very first contact, and the equally well organized warm loft is tastefully and very functionally furnished and decorated (many antique items with sentimental value and good stories), with thougtful attention to every detail guests would need. The kids, when tired from walking around, asked if we could go "home" rather than "the apartment" or just "can we go back?" which I think says a lot about how much they liked the loft. Great place and great host. Grazie mille, Simone! Get well soon!!
