We were three traveling American women. Upon first coming to the property walking on foot through the neighborhood, my companions felt unsafe. The neighborhood is a little bit more unkempt than first expected but the neighbors all seemed friendly when walking by. The flat is up three flights of stairs. The flat looked pretty much as expected in the pictures and was mostly clean and very spacious. It could use a really good cleaning in between stays, however, I know we are on the end of the busy tourist season. If there is anyone with knee, walking, or balance issues I would not recommend this place as the beds are up very narrow staircases but for younger travelers, this was a great place!! Our stay was mostly during a couple very rainy days and we enjoyed the space to relax while it downpoured outside. Francesco and Therese are both very hospitable and very gracious hosts, very timely in response, and both quite accomodating!
