Paolo: the apartment is very well located, near many good restaurants, cafes, grocery shops, wine shop, baber shops, and souvenir shops. The apt bldg itself is 400 years old but well maintained. There are stairs but Paolo helped us to carry our luggage to the apartment. Heater is a bit slow to work and water heater takes 10 mins in advance to produce hot shower water and capacity is just enough for one shower. Paolo is very professional and very swift in explaining everything about the apartment and Paolo leaves notes about what to do, where to go and what to eat around so the notes help. Right across the apt is a very crowded bar but when the windows are shut, it helps to seal out the noise so it's not distracting.
