Although Stefano was not personally there he had his friend Akela greet us. Lovely person who took our bags up to the apartment! A bottle of wine was left for us but I couldn't find the wine opener. There's a compartment under the stove burners that you pry up & utensils are stored there. Stefano communicated well even though he was on vacation with his family. Nice apartment with artwork on the walls. He gave recommendations on local places to eat. If you're planning to do much cooking the kitchen's a bit small but otherwise a great little apartment.
