I arrived at 6pm on a Saturday evening. The area was really buzzing and this apartment is right in the middle of it. It is above a restaurant but looks out over a quieter courtyard rather than onto the street so not too noisy unless you like to have the windows open. The courtyard walls were covered in jasmine plants in full bloom. Very pretty and beautiful scent. Walk from Metro not too far but interesting with a suitcase due to cobblestones and heaps of strolling people. I had given my flight arrival time to Davide and he gave me excellent instructions for coming from the airport on public transport. Did this without any delays but when I arrived I had the impression that he had been waiting for me for a while and he was in a hurry to get away. He showed me the basics of the apartment and said to call if I needed anything. Not easy to do as I didn’t have international roaming on my phone. He wasn’t inclined to chat and answer questions about the neighbourhood. I would have appreciated a bit more info such as the location of the button to open the security gate to get out of the building. He followed up with an email the next day asking if all was OK but I’d pretty much worked out how to get by at that stage. The apartment is large, stylishly decorated and mostly neat and clean. It’s in a atmospheric old building with thick wooden beams on the ceiling and an old wooden door. Unfortunately the plumbing tends to match the old building not the new decor. There seemed to be some drainage problems. For this place though, it’s all about location.
