The location was amazing! I did not meet Federico but his friend Ilaria was there to meet us and was very friendly and accommodating (despite the fact that we were an hour late due to a missed connecting train). The room was beautiful, and the apartment was clean and charming, very true to the photos. As others have said, it is noisy at night, but this is to be expected due to the location and was really not a problem for me. Just get earplugs and your problem is solved. Well worth the stay!
