The Loft is as described and as per the pictures - clean and spacious. We did not meet Antonio as he was out of town, but his dad Gaetano welcomed us and showed us the apartment, the next supermarket, etc. The kitchen comes equipped with everything you need to make meals at home and is great for use. While the loft is a specious apartment, there is a bit of unusable space for tall people which you should consider when booking. For us, traveling as a couple and mostly out on activities, it was not a problem at all though. The flat being located outside the historical inner city with all it's one way streets, and having a dedicated parking spot, is a good hub to explore the area by car, visit the valley of temples, the scala del turchi, etc. As it was very hot, we felt like we needed the car for all activities though, as walking to the city (uphill) or to the valley of temples (downhill) seemed too strenuous to us. That being said, we never tried to do it and there might be an easier route to the inner city and valley of temples than the ones we took by car. In any case, for us, who wanted to explore sights in the whole area rather than spend a lot of time in the city, the apartment was a very good spot and the hospitality was great. I forgot some items in the apartment and Geatano offered to send them by mail which is absolutely appreciated and shows how the hospitality goes beyond the expected. Highly recommended
