The apartment is very well located with easy access to the historic city center, shops and restaurants. The check in with the apartment manager Giovanni was perfect and he provided much information regarding the area. He was kind and helpful. However, we were disappointed by the apartment because it is an outdated place with old furniture, carpets, toilets, bathrooms which had a very strange smell that is comparable to a thrift shop / antique shop. The sofa which is closest to the door to the balcony had a strong ordor of a dog. Each time we left the apartment and went out, we felt like our clothes carried this smell which was not pleasant at all. It is rather unfortunate because the apartment is well located and spacious. Had this apartment been furnitured with newer / even simple furniture and carpets, it would have been perfect. The only part of the apartment where we enjoyed was the balcony which hasdbeautiful views and did not have the smells the interior had. Sadly, it is not a place where we would return.
