Gabriele's husband Ray met us in front of the place and even offered to meet us at the airport, which we didn't need since we had a car. The flat is less than a block from the waterfront with a partial water view from the balcony. The apartment has everything a tourist needs and more, such as coffee with French press, books, and cable TV with lots of Italian channels of baffling programming. I found the place slightly damp, but my boyfriend did not notice it, and I imagine that's pretty common in an older building so close to the water. Overall, it was as advertised and a good value.
