Marco's friend showed us the apartment, which was as advertised. Everything in the apartment was clean, new, and modern - in fact, it felt like we were the first to use the place. The apartment is very, very quiet - at night and during the day you can't hear any vehicular noise whatsoever, although you're in the ancient city center, close to everything. On our trip to Italy and France, we stayed at six Airbnb's, and this one was a standout. We forgot a pair of glasses and Marco kindly found them (before we had a chance to tell him), informed us, and mailed them to us where we were staying afterward.
