Marilou greeted us warmly, made us coffee and answered all our questions, left us maps and guidelines. She was accessible and very helpful throughout our stay. It was a pleasure to know her. The apartment was perfect:spacey with lots of light and with lots of nice touches, we felt at home. It is much better than the pictures. It was once a monastery, so very high domed ceilings, very thick walls, large windows, with lots of character. It consists of an entrance that doubles for a study, a large living area with small balcony, a bedroom with lots of closet space, a very nice bathroom with a large window. The kitchen was more than fully equipped, there were even spices. As to the location, the apartment is just minutes away from Piazza Dante, and is walking distance to many major sights. You have to take some steps down to get there, so if you have any mobility problems it could be hard, however it can be easily accessed by a taxi. There is a supermarket very close. Overall it was a great stay and Marilou was a superb host.
