Piero and his wife were waiting to greet us when we arrived late the first evening- a lovely surprise. They spent time showing us how everything worked at the apartment - which is delightful! As you sit on the very spacious balcony, you can waltch the ships unloading at the port in the morning, the comings and goings of the neighbourhood during the day, abs sunset over the city including magnificebt views of the basilica in the evening. Everything in the apartment was as described- it was spacious and cool with all amenities - even a kettle! We would recommend it wholeheartedly; we has a wonderful stay.
One small comment: there are 65 steps up to the apartment, so just bear that in mind if you aren't very fit...
Thank you Piero!
