The apartment was absolutely beautiful - everything seemed brand new and was so luxurious. As others mentioned, you can hear some noise from the street but it wasn't bothersome to us, except for one night when it seemed the building across the street was doing construction in the middle of the night. But I am sure this is not the norm, and our second night was much much quieter. Riccardo was lovely and kept in touch to make sure we didn't need anything. The location is perfect - walkable to anything and with many great shops and restaurants just outside. We wish our stay was longer!
