Everything about the apartment is as described and better. We traveled with seven adults in a group - three couples and one single. Everyone loved the apartment and raved about it. The bedrooms were all very well done and comfortable (especially the upstairs master that I was in was lovely and quiet). However, what makes this place special is the communal space. There are several different areas to retreat to if you need a moment alone, but all of the communal spaces are large enough to congregate in. We never felt crowded, which is amazing on a trip of a week.

The neighborhood is also lovely, grocery stores and cafes and ATMs are all around, nothing is hard to find.

We would not hesitate to come back to La Cupola.

The only unfortunate thing was that because we were there on a holiday week, we didn't get to meet Cris, who I have read so much about. Her replacement, Julia, was a delight and very helpful, but again because of the holiday was only there the first three days.
