We loved our stay at this quirky apartment overlooking the harbour. The views were great, especially in the early evening. It was nice to sit on the little balcony and watch the people below. Yes it is quite noisy but ear plugs go a long way if you like to sleep early. We did not meet Giada but I had a nice exchange by text with her beforehand and she was on the phone when we were welcomed by her friend Francesca.
If you want to stay somewhere a little different I would recommend this place, I mean it has a boat in the hall :)
