Vincenzo was an incredibly welcoming host who went out of his way to support our arrival; great communication and he provided a great little welcome pack that we were happy to have after some long travel. The apartment itself was a great place to stay with the courtyard out the back providing a nice place to retreat to during the afternoon. The apartment was 100m outside the old town entrance, but was down the right end IMO as there was easy access to the gondola (to get to the beach), a taxi rank out the front, the worlds greatest bakery just around the corner and a little supermarket just a few doors away. We stayed there with our two young children (2 and 4 yo). The apartment was up one flight of stairs but this was no problem at all.
