The apartment is in a very old building with high ceilings. The apartment's entrance hall was bright with large windows in the front common area, and full of antiques. The back of the apartment had less headroom and a lot of twists and turns but there were automatic lights that would come on so you were never left in the dark. What was enchanting about it was also the downside; we experienced one of the occasional major rain storms to hit this area (Penelope), and several windows did not keep rain water out - we had puddles of water in a hallway and in one of the bedrooms. The refrigerator was new but we only used the gas stove for coffee, as it was very old and made us a bit nervous. A good location and a wonderful host; Guglielmo was lovely, very helpful and gracious.
