Check in: the checkin process was reasonably smooth and effecient. Tommaso"s uncle David waited for us and helped carry our luggage up the 53 steps to the appartment and provided alot of useful information.
The neighbourhood: the location is very central and close to everything. The street where the apartment is located is dominated by new emigrants. They are very peaceful, but some people maybe intemidated by their numbers.
The apartment : the apartment is much smaller than we expected. The images provided in the listing give the impression that the space is larger than it really is. Its good for 2 but definitely not for 4. The apartment is reasonably clean. The best part is having two bathrooms. In the smaller bathroom there is a very low wooden beam, so if you are not careful you can injure your head. in both bathrooms the hot water is a bit crazy, it can go from very hot to warm to cold then back to very hot without you even touching it. The bed is comfortable, but not the pillows, they definetly need replacing.
