We liked the location as we wanted to be in a neighborhood, yet not too far from the train station. Highlight was dinner at "Il Rustico" - fun, unique and just the place if you are hungry. We easily grabbed a taxi on the street in the morning to the Cruise terminal (*$20 euros for 2 of us is standard taxi fare). Host does reply very quickly. Once we arrived at the building, the most difficult part was finding the apartment and accesssing the code and security devices (*it is more complex than I have seen). You just walk up 1 flight so elevator is not a big deal. Just know this: if you have any question or concern whatsoever, the hosts will respond ASAP which is very helpful when you are travelling.
