We loved staying at alessandros place. It's a central apartement. One can either walk, take a bus, a city bike or an uber into the "center" (sights, all sorts of shops and restaurants..) in less than 5-10 minutes. Nevertheless the apartment is located in a lovely building and neighborhood. It's a small, but very clean, functional and nicely decorated room. The furniture and kitchen appeared fairly new to us. The bathroom is a shared bathroom, which didn't bother us at all. It's clean and hygienic.
Alessandro was a very friendly and helpful host. He gave us all sorts of information one could need before the arrival which was pretty helpful. Also he gave us the possibility to store our luggage in his building which made everything much easier.
