Alessia was a wonderful, welcoming host. When I first arrived, she not only took the time to get me oriented in the neighborhood but also showed me some of the surrounding areas. She was very respectful of privacy but also perfectly happy to sit and chat. Great conversations blending English, Spanish, and Italian! The apartment was clean and nice, the location ideal (near to the river and within walking distance of the center), the cat enjoyed the company...overall would highly recommend the place!
