    Enjoyed Most:
    The property was in a good area...fairly close to most things.
    Unpleasant Surprises:
    The property was valued with a terrace...unfortunately the piazza was closed below ...with construction going on for two weeks to erect bleachers for a soccer game. You also get additional charges for electricity, gas and cleaning. One final note, we had a problem using the pull-out sofa bed in the living room although it was described as being available...they did have a roll-away bed we put in the master bedroom which would be "inconvenient" for a couple. In essence the property only sleeps 3 comfortably. The weather was cool in June for us but if it had been hot - and the apartment is on the 4th floor - the electricity cost would have been incredible using the AC.
    Surrounding Area:
    Was pleasant, although the piazza was closed during our stay.
    Tips or Restaurants:
    The trattoria down the street was very good...Boldiva
