Unfortunately Melania was sick and could not welcome us. There were some other people but they did not know the apartment so they could not explain things. Some advice, if you are walking from the train station you will not see the house number as it will be behind you. The numbers of italian buildings are a bit different as in North America. If you passed the parcheggio, you have gone to far. Look behind you and you will actually see the number 27. Also the concierge of the building, Angelo is a super helpful guy who speaks some German - if that helps you. It might be a good idea to have a little "manual" for the apartment that tells one some of the details such us where to put the garbage, how the stove works or the washing machine (it is all in italian and unless you speak the language you might not be able to figure it out) and also what to do when you leave.

The location is GREAT - as it tells you central and lovely. Very close to the train station and close to the historic centre. The hosts are really good people and they respond to any questions quickly. We did have a problem but it became very quickly evident that it was NOT the fault of the owners renting this place. It was unfortunate for them as for us BUT it was NOT their fault and they did their best to rectify the problem. We would recommend this place to anyone. It is as the pictures show and, as said, the owners care of doing their best for their clients. Besides that, Padova is a truly lovely italian city that is not as touristi as Milano, Roma, Frirenze etc. in the summer.
