The owner of the apartment grew up in this home, and this kind of connection is always a good thing. The apartment was clean and fully equipped. I do think that it is time to consider changing the mattresses. None of us slept poorly, but the box spring made a lot of noise, and I will not vouch for what a heavy person will feel during a longer stay. Communications was straightforward and timely. Fondo is a nice little village, and the location of the apartment is perfect. From the balcony you get a 3D view of a nice part of the village (and the next one), and a small stream adds the right type of noise (the stream carved out a serious canyon over the last 5 million years, over which the town is built (guided tours available, not a must-do, but nice for a quiet day)). There is a fancy restaurant in the town, and of course a more simple trattoria and pizzeria(s). Fondo is a good starting point for nice hikes.
