1. the location is great, if you want cheap but authentic toscani food, the surrounding area has plenty to offer. just as an example, we went to a random pastry shop in the area, and later saw an entire group of people came in. turns out they were on a good trip.
2. alessandro is a great host. he offered so much help throughout our stay, and never left us cold. just a charming guy all around.
3. the apartment itself is on the quiet side of a the street, and offers everything you need for the stay. bed is large and comfortable. we went through out jetlag within the first night like a baby.
