We were met by Claudio’s dad, Rubes. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, and was a delight to deal with. Physically, the apartment is wonderful. It is spacious, full of character, and extremely clean. As mentioned in several other reviews, there are a lot of steps before the lift, and a small flight after the lift to get into the apartment. Inside the apartment there is a long, steep flight to get to the terrace, but once you climb up, you may never want to leave. The view is truly 360 degrees, and is incomparable. The location is central and convenient. I would strongly suggest that you bring earplugs. (I wish we had!) The bar across the street attracts large, loud crowds, and stays open till the wee hours of the morning. Additionally, many university students live in the building and don’t realize how loud they are when they come in after the bar closes.
