Irene's apartment is very modern and in a quiet location. It is very close to the most important sites in Noto (about 2 mins to the main street) , as well as restaurants, shops and the bus station. Communication with Irene was very good and she very kindly picked us up from the train station. Check-in and out was straight forward. A minor issue for us was that the lighting in the living room was quite low, but this can be easily fixed by the host. Recommended. Bob
