Giulia's apartment was perfect for my requirements, and the location was convenient - just a 10 minute walk from SMN, and tram stops were very close.
The rooms were clean and comfortable, and Giulia was very welcoming with information and a tour of the premises (in perfect English).
The only downside was the lack of a lift. However, even with my arthritic knee and general lack of fitness, climbing three stories should just be considered exercise!
