Ugo was very welcoming and showed us around the apartment, as well as giving us lots of tips on good places to visit and eat. It is a great area to stay in, off the tourist track so cheaper to eat out. It does get a bit noisy on Friday and Saturday nights - but we were there with kids, so perhaps we were just jealous of everyone else who got to stay out late! The main bedroom is fairly quiet though, tucked in the back of the apartment. It is on the small side, but fine if you are spending most of the time out and about. (Unless you have to get the kids to bed. Sigh.)
