Riccardo's father met us near the apartment and showed us in. The apt. is just as described: small but surprisingly well equipped and comfortable - apart from the helical stairs up to the mezzanine bedroom (where regular stairs could have fitted). It is naturally rather dark and poorly ventilated, but has good lighting and an automatic room freshener. Good kitchen supplies including cappuccino machine, coffee, water bottles, pasta and sauce. The garden is a great spot, with colourful plants and a couple of table/chair settings; a good drying rack; grass was a bit overgrown; good for daytime - mozzies after 5pm. Garden and apt. are quiet. The immediate street and Piazza Luigi Sturzo are shabby, but at the other end of the street there are restaurants, street stalls and buzzing street life, and a supermarket a few streets away. It's about 2km from the station and bus terminals; much closer to Piazza Verdi and major sites. Overall, a very pleasant stay.
