We had a great time in this apartment, unlike Florence or Venice the old historic quarter is still a living thriving place to stay, everything you need and want to see are in easy walking distance. Cooking in this apartment is excellent as the fresh ingredients are so close, also a supermarket at Montesanto station nearby offers easy shopping if you are worried about pricing in the local shops. There is no oven in the kitchen but the microwave has a grill facility if you are patient, otherwise an easy kitchen to enjoy the wonderful food available. The stairs to the apartment are not to be underestimated they are steep and narrow in places but you are warned of this by the wonderful Ida and Geuseppe before you book. The location is excellent for sightseeing, shopping and travel. I would not hesitate recommending booking this comfortable apartment in a lively but secure location to anyone who can climb those stairs!
