Great location off the tourist track on a more quiet residential street, yet perfectly close and convenient to all the major sites in the historic center as well as places to eat and shops. The apartment is well thought out and has everything the international traveler needs. Carlo is an extremely well-organized host, always responding immediately to any questions day or night and proactive in anticipating any needs. When I mentioned I was interested in finding vegetarian food, I was pleasantly surprised to receive a text from Carlo--he had gone out of his way to check around about restaurants for me. He was very accommodating in getting me well set up at check-in, leaving a bottle of wine, and he saw me off at departure, arranging a taxi, which was a welcome plus.
A friendly recommendation, especially for single female travelers--suggest that you take a taxi from the train station rather than try to walk, as I did. I found the streets immediately around the station rather crowded and chaotic. Pulling my suitcase, I was obviously a tourist, and I did encounter a person who tried to fleece me. This was just around the station and in no way a reflection of the apartment neighborhood.
