Alessandro's apartment is a great place to stay. As with every other place I've stayed in Italy, the old building has single glazing windows and so if you are a light sleeper then you need ear plugs, however the apartment is in quite a quiet side street and so this isn't a huge problem. The apartment is about a 10 minute walk from the city center and 10-15 minutes from the station. There are great restaurants a short walk away, a supermarket and cafe for breakfast. The apartment has a really comfy bed and good pillows. The shower door is partly broken at the moment but I was able to shower and wash my hair without flooding the bathroom. A positive for ladies, this is the only shower I've experienced in Italy that was big enough to shave my legs in and the hairdryer provided in the apartment is also a good one.
Alessandro is quick to respond, has really useful tips and advice about where to eat and I would definitely stay there again.
