Erika's apartment is ideally situated in the heart of the old city, five minutes from the town beach on one side, five minutes to the port (and its many cafes and restaurants) on the other.

We enjoyed making the short stroll to the pedestrian street Corso Garibaldi each morning, where we'd choose among the many cafes and sit for a coffee and some people-watching. Also within walking distance of the apartment (which is more like a small row house) is a bank, vegetable market where you can buy bottled water and wine, among other things), and many lovely pizzerias and trattorias.

The apartment itself was very pleasant, with a nice balcony and an open, airy kitchen. There's no wifi, but every cafe and restaurant we visited in town offered it for free, so communications weren't a problem. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you, Erika!
