Alessandra is an amazing host. She spent a good amount of time explaining the flat, washing machine, local markets and tourist attractions (including the best gelato spots). Her place is clean, spacious, and within 5-15 minutes walking of most sites. We did not find the garage across the street to be noisy, they closed at 9:30pm while we were there in October.
Overall, Alessandra is very responsive and the location was wonderful. I would highly recommend this flat and Alessandra. She also showed patience with us when our travel plans changed the day of arrival- we really appreciated this.
