Giripaso apartment is entered from a busy street, but the accommodation is at the back and is noise free. There are two kitchens, one of them situated in a bedroom accessed through a courtyard. During our visit in mid May, the weather was dry but very cool, so we had little chance to sit and eat in the courtyard. The whole apartment is very well decorated and furnished, and the beds are large and very comfortable. However, there isn't a lounge with any easy chairs, just the 4 dining chairs in each kitchen. The equipment in the kitchens is adequate, but there is no oven, just a double hot plate in each kitchen.
We are a party of pensioners, and it was too far to walk into the centre and back. But the C2 and C3 buses go to various places in the centre, and the tram will take you half way there as well. If you take the bus, just be prepared to be crammed in on the way back.
Matteo is a really friendly guy who speaks good English. When we had a problem with the door lock on the first day he responded quickly and sorted it out. Thanks Matteo for helping us to have a great time.
