Massimo met us when we arrived...in a pouring rain storm. He had lots of written information on the eccentrics' of the apartment and on how to get around, find grocery stores etc. It was very helpful. He also provides a mini bar for a reasonable fee for those who wish and provided a welcome gift of fruit, juice and chocolate.

There are a lot of stairs to access the apartment so it may not be suitable for everyone. Also the shower and toilet area are very small spaces. They were a little tight for size 14 woman and X-large man.

The apt. has two terraces that would be nice in hot weather although there appears to be a good heating/cooling system.

The internet and T V channels were the best we have encountered and there are even a couple of English speaking channels.

The location of the apartment is on a busy street and noisy but it is very handy for walking to many of the tourist destinations, buses, and restaurants.
