The location, view, and check-in process were great here. While Massimo lives on the same property, he had a property manager arrange our check-in. He was helpful in getting us settled and making suggestions on where to go. The apartment itself is spacious, but very basic in it's style. It is clearly a rental property and not a home. As long as you're ok with that, you'll enjoy the view from the balcony. It was winter-time when we were there, so we didn't use the pool, but this would have been a nice feature in the warmer months. The location was good, in that we could walk into town (be ready for a lot of stairs!) in short time, and were very close to the cable car station. In fact, the cable cars are passing just a little ways in front of the apartment! This was neat to see.
