Having read the reviews of the place and the host, it was absolutely as described. Massimo took the time to show us around the apartment and the facilities, and he also gave suggestions of restaurants which were very helpful. The location of the apartment was excellent and aside from the islands, everywhere was covered on foot. Supermarket round the corner was an added bonus. We travelled light so the stairs were not a problem and the church bells did not bother us as you do get use to them.
