First of all, Gaetano is such a nice and kind man. We got delayed on our journey due to flight delays, extra controls at the airport and unavailability of taxi but he waited for us until very late at night and greeted is with utmost kindness and friendliness.
The flat itself has a central location, just a couple of minutes from Basilica di Santa Croce. Because of its location just off the more pedestrian part of the centre, there is quite a lot of traffic around even at night which you are going to hear if you are a light sleeper. But if you shut the windows and the shutters the noise becomes minimal.
The upside is that the whole city centre is on your doorstep. The flat itself is very charming, with character - as people usually say when they see beams etc. It has everything you need for a short or even a longer stay. The flat is clean, the shower works well and the bed is very comfortable. What more does one need?
