We loved staying in this beautiful apartment. Massimiliano's brother Giuseppe met us for check-in. He offered to help us bring our luggage up the stairs, provided us with refreshing iced tea, and helped us understand the surrounding area and restaurants. The apartment was extremely comfortable and lovely. The big windows offered amazing views of Via Maqueda, nice breezes, and they had coverings to keep the apartment cooler during the day while we were out. The bed was very comfortable and the AC worked great. I loved peering over Via Maqueda in the mornings and evenings from the balcony to take in the views and to people watch. As others mentioned, there are a lot of stairs, but we considered them the final stretch after our long days out and it was well worth returning home to this awesome apartment! It's also centrally located and easy to walk to many of the sights and the waterfront.
