The apartment is just as I hoped it would be, the host is better. It is a gorgeous location, with a stunning view. The apartment is in top condition, with little subtle features that Europeans often miss in US homes.
Francesco is a great host, proud of his magnificent home in a good way and very helpful. He makes sure with little gestures that one feels more like hanging out at a friend's place than actually renting an apartment.
Of particular importance are the following features:
- Humidifiers in the flat
- Heater outside to enjoy as much as possible of the view
- Music on the balcony and in the home
- Supplies are stocked up real nice
- Comfortable beds
- non America-Standard toilets. Much better.
- Very good location

Highly recommended!
