The location of this apartment was great! The building was grand and beautiful. We didn't mind walking the flights of stairs with our luggage on the way down, but the elevator was great for luggage on the way up.

We walked to the apartment from the train station because it was raining and there were no taxis available at the station. It took about 20 minutes and was actually a very nice walk, but because we ended-up walking, were arrived 15 minutes past 8:00pm so we were charged an additional 10euro.

We were greeted by Nico who was wonderful! He provided some fantastic recommendations for eating, drinking, sunset viewing, markets, gelato and coffee. We loved all the spots we tried.

The apartment worked out well for our family of 4 - everyone had a bed which was great. We basically slept and showered there so I can't speak to the kitchen amenities, stove etc., but the A/C worked well. The shower water pressure was weak but this was typical during our travels in Italy.

Two cautions: there was an odor in the apartment we couldn't pinpoint. It wasn't so awful that we couldn't stay, but it was very apparent. Also, communication with Luca was ok. Our hunch is that he rents out multiple apartments and sends Nico to meet with guests so our only interaction with Luca was a confirmation email upon booking and a brief phone call to Luca from the train station to let him know we arrived and were on our way to the apartment at which time he said he'd send someone to meet us. Compared to our previous Airbnb host, dealing with Luca was very sterile and business-like. Not bad, just not great. But again, can't say enough great things about Nico - thank you, Nico!!
