The location is close to the historic center, about a 10 minute or so walk, but it is on quite a busy street and very loud during the night and early morning hours (when the garbage trucks are out). Ear plugs helped us. The apartment was clean but very basic and the beds were not very comfortable. The bathroom is very tiny. Umberto shared some highlights of the area with us when we arrived which we appreciated and he was very easy to communicate with. Our expectations were higher based on the reviews. Parking on the street is free from 8 pm till 8 am, but during the day you need to pay 0.50 euro per hour. Umberto told us where to park all day and night for free, but unfortunately there are beggers in the parking lot that are quite persistent and always there when you go to your car or when you leave your car, making you feel uneasy about getting your car or leaving it.
