Andrea's place was incredible - and in such a perfect location. He wasn't available to greet us upon our arrival, but his parents were in his place. They spoke VERY little English, but were so incredibly kind, helpful and accommodating.
His father helped carry my bag up the two floors (which was so nice.) The flat was lovely and included an espresso maker, a little window nook and plenty of space.
The only complaints we had were the odd shower situation (which we assume might be more of a European thing than we realized,) as well as some noise. There is a courtyard below the flat, and on one of the mornings we were there, a neighbor sat talking on the phone so loudly that it woke us up. All in all, it left us more time to explore. ;) Would stay at Andrea's place again!
