Anna has a beautiful apartment. I mean that literally, her whole place is beautiful and pretty well thought out with dual bathrooms. She also had a small washing machine we could use in the apartment. The location is pretty good insofar as getting around is easy, and lots of markets / places to eat nearby. Close enough to Duomo station to make getting around pretty easy.
We weren't there at the right time of year to use the patio, but it looks like it would be beautiful in more appropriate months. The kitchen was well appointed as well, with necessary spices / pots / pans / appliances readily available.
Entry was via a private elevator, however (for parents of small children) it is a smaller elevator with photoelectric safety sensors. We don't have a lot of these in the states, unless you know someone with mobility issues you probably wouldn't see one like it, but they are VERY useful (and more common) in European homes due to the small amount of space they take up. I would guess (and it is only a guess) that Anna's elevator is a fairly new model, clean, efficient, and "high tech" insofar as elevators are high tech.
