The apartment was lovely; it was clearly designed by a designer with a good 'eye' for furniture, colors, texture, and other elements. The huge arch, open staircase, unique shower (with a glass sheet separating the bed room from the bathroom) were very interesting features, the latter not being the most private!
We did not meet Pierpaolo instead Alessandra was our very friendly host. She was very attentive to our needs and went out of her way to accommodate us in terms of our schedule and other requests.
