This place is as described. There are 40 steps up to the apartment. This is a very clean apartment with comfortable beds. There was some construction going on across the street and downstairs, so it could get a little noisy at times in the front bedroom. We had everything we needed to cook small meals, but we would have liked an electric tea pot. The grocery store was very close by, as well as many attractions and restaurants. We had a great stay here and would strongly recommend it. The wifi was not working when we first arrived, but Giovanni had it fixed in a few hours.
