Giulia was a very nice host and met us at the train station Santa Maria nearby to show the way (less than ten minutes walk with cases and the building has a few steps and then a liift). She also offered help during our stay and provided some treats for us in the apartment which was very nice and appreciated. The apartment is on the fourth floor and is in a pretty traditional style, clean and very carefully maintained. She is very attached to it which possibly makes it stressful for her as a host. Facilities include a washing machine.
The location is about 20 minutes or so walk to some key attractions. The locks on the apartment door can be a bit tricky till you get used to them. The key disadvantage is the noise in the vicinity. Noting it is an inner city location so there will always be some noise. During the day this is not a problem but at night there is significant noise till quite late and early morning from the hotel courtyard and the street which the two bedrooms alternatively overlook. This includes intermittent rubbish disposal and collections including early morning, traffic and other street noise and a lot of noise from people that seemed to come from housing and clubs nearby.
Thank you Giulia.
