It’s in an upmarket location, so many wonderful restaurants in the roads around the apartment, and for the locals rather than for the tourists, so great food for great prices. Also as these are in a residential area, the traffic is much calmer and the roads are easier to cross. There are also at least two supermarkets within 5 minutes walking distance.
The apartment, although a studio, has loads of storage, and everything you need: iron, hob, microwave, tv, proper (usable) balcony, large sofa / bed, WiFi, sink, washing machine, fridge / freezer, all cooking / eating / washing implements, remote controlled air conditioning. The bathroom is surprisingly large with an overhead drencher shower, toilet, wash basin, bidet, towel rail and storage.
In terms of security, the apartment is in a gated area, with a reception area manned during working hours, stairs and lifts to the first floor (where the apartment is). The apartment has twin locks, one a normal latch and the other a strong cross bolt. The door to the balcony also has an electric security screen that is operated from inside the apartment.
It is two minutes from the metro or you can walk everywhere as it’s a beautiful city.
Alessandra is a wonderful host and really makes you feel welcome to the apartment and to her beautiful city.
