Davide's home was absolutely beautiful. It was spacious, light-filled, airy and so well made and well decorated. It is a classic home made to last. The views are do die for. I felt privileged every day that I walked down the colorful alleyways into the building. It was in the heart of it all, but the fact that it's on the 5th floor, it provided a respite from the energy of the streets and restaurants below.
There is a fruit and vegetable market I enjoyed going to every few days. When you walk down the small alleyway where the apartment is, turn right at the first street (you have to because otherwise you run into the restaurant and massage place) and walk until you are in an open plaza. There is an individual produce stand there run primarily by Alberto. It's hard to get him to smile, but his prices are good and he's fair. And his produce is delicious.
Davide was a wonderful host with a gorgeous home and I'd highly recommend it to others.
