The host is really cool. He met us at the apartment to make sure that everything was ok. We got a walk through of how everything works, and a bunch of tips on places to go and what to see... Very professional and warm hospitality.
The apt is about 10 min walk to the city center. It's just far enough outside the tourist zone that it's still quiet, and comfortable place to stay. Your biggest problem will be deciding which of all the awesome restaurants, attractions, and near by places you want to see first. In my opinion, the perfect location for a trip t a tourist destination.
As for the apt, it was very comfortable. The windows are very high quality with shutters that block out 100% of noise and light if you want to sleep in. The exposed beams and other unique features of this dwelling added another little touch of Italy that made the stay better.
I had a very early flight on Sunday morning, and the host helped me schedule a taxi pick up to get me to the airport early. This was a very kind gesture that was done on a weekend which shows the level of hospitality that you will find here.
It doesn't get any better for this value.
