Desideria and her sister, Anna, were very sweet and helpful hosts. The apartment is great: spacious and sunny, with a nice balcony, AC that works really well, and a functional kitchen. It’s very centrally located, making it easy to get anywhere within the old city. The only downside, but it’s a real one, is that on the Friday and Saturday nights I was there, there was a REALLY loud open-air disco on the piazza down the block. They blared the Macarena, Gangnam Style, YMCA, so much Sean Paul, and other remixed fan faves from like 2002 until past 2 AM. That made it hard to sleep, but if you’re planning on being out late — or maybe if you come during the week? I don’t know if the club is every night, just on weekends, a seasonal thing, or maybe just the nights I was there— the apartment is otherwise a good base, and quiet in the mornings.
