The space is huge and to our tastes lovely ... not fancy but tasteful and elegant. Excellent location. But the highlight of our stay for sure was Francesco's mom ... she's lives in the adjoining apartment and its like having a personal on call concierge .... she went out of her way to help us all aspects of our stay, including writing a personal itinerary of things to see and places to eat based on our tastes and feedback. She did this without being intrusive and was sensitive to our needs when we wanted space to relax. All that to say, she made our whole visit much more interesting and pleasant. Francesco was always responsive to questions and some specific needs of ours during the booking process.

The only negative I would say is that the kitchen is not a kitchen for serious cooks ... both in terms of function and the way its equipped. However in this location, there are so many places to eat within a few blocks that we wouldn't have wanted to cook there anyway (vs a remote location where we like to cook complete meals). And without a doubt, some of the best pizza can be found in the place in the same building on the first floor ... and we tried many places around Italy .... this one, which only serves pizza - not even salads - is extremely good ... just a nice bonus if you stay here.
