The apartment is right in the city center at the bustling Via dei Tribunali, but it is located inside a huge old palazzo behind a huge wooden door. Therefore it is true: It is absolutely quiet. Usually I sleep with ear plugs when I'm travelling because I'm sensitive to noises that I don't know but it wasn't necessary here. I could walk everywhere from the apartment, there is a small supermarket right in front of the bulílding and a bigger one about 10 min away. Since the apartment has very small windows leading into the couryard it is rather dark. But that wasn't a problem because I was not there during the day. It is absolutely clean, the bed comfy. The stairs up to the bedroom are very steep - maybe not recommended for older people. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need so that you can make breakfast or cook some dinner if you want. Véronique is super nice and even offered to meet with her on Friday evening for a book event (knowing that I work in the book business). Communication was quick and easy. For me it was the perfect starting point to explore the city from. Last but not least, I was travelling alone but I felt completely safe.
