The host did not greet us but did arrange for a friend to check us in. Frederik was readily responsive whenever we contacted him with questions. We found a beautiful fruit basket in the refrigerator and other breakfast and snack items in the kitchen. The apartment was clean and the accommodations were perfect for our large party of family and friends traveling together. The location was ideal...so close to the Duomo, restaurants and shops. Out of our host's control was the noise level on the street which was loud and continued into the night. We were there on a holiday weekend so it may have been livelier than usual as there were so many people in town. Also likely out of our host's control was the unpleasant odor permeating from the center courtyard which was especially evident when the windows were open.
