Andrea provided a nice packet of information on how to get to the apartment and useful information about staying there. He met us promptly near the boat and gave us an unhurried introduction to the place, complete with tips on how to judge restaurants for authenticity. Hard to say what we liked best about the apartment -- its great location, its cleanliness, spaciousness. We loved that it was in a quiet alleyway, but so close to shopping, restaurants, and museums. The apartment is freshly renovated, and has all the amenities -- separate heat/AC in each room, a full kitchen, clothes washer, hair dryer. The upstairs loft has its own half bath. All very nice.
