Giorgio was a good host, professional and thorough. He was easily contactable, knowledgeable and anticipated everything we would need to know so had guides in various languages for all the questions we might have (travel, amenities etc) along with maps. The apartment was as described. Everything we needed was provided (towels, bedding, washing up liquid) and there are two bedrooms in the flat (no lounge), which is on the first floor of an apartment block (no lift) opposite a garage and McDonalds on a busy main road (apartment has double glazing which cut out much but not all of the noise). We walked into and back from the centre of town (it took about 25 -30 mins though beware of the hills!) and the bus system was regular (less than 10 mins journey time) and runs from a bus stop 1 minute from the apartment. The area surrounding the apartment isn't particularly glamorous (think urban downtown) so don't go expecting picturesque views but it offers a variety of shops: pharmacy, bakery, pasticerria (for delicious Italian coffee and breakfast pastries!), newsagents, Gelateria, pizza restaurant and a shop called a rosteceria, selling ready-made meals such as lasagne, stuffed peppers, artichokes, olives, and cold meats as well as hot fresh roasted meats and selection of wines. The apartment was colourfully tiled with retro decor (my husband particularly liked the ornate plaster mouldings and original wooden shutters) and was an excellent price. We would happily go back. :)
