We were very happy with our stay at Martini’s Interno 4. It’s in an area where locals live, close to cafes, restaurants and the grocery store and about a 15 minute walk to the Centro Storico. The apartment is a converted attic space on the 3rd floor with elevator access for the first two floors and a walk up to the top floor...about 17 steps. It’s stylishly designed with a combination of rustic beams, slanted ceilings with little nooks, and modern furnishing. Each bedroom had its own bathroom with thoughtful touches and baskets of soaps and shampoos. The kitchen is pretty well equipped, but we ate out most of the time.
The best part was our host, Donata. She lives one floor down and greeted us with a very warm welcome, spending quite a bit of time telling us about nearby restaurants and local sites. She checked in often by text to be sure we had everything we needed and went out of her way to arrange taxis for us since we don’t speak Italian.
One caveat about showers: There are two bathrooms and you can’t fully stand in either shower if you’re very tall. The master bedroom has a tub with convenient seat built into it for showering, but you can’t fully stand and shower and there is no shower curtain. There’s a second bathroom for the other bedroom. Because the apartment is tucked into the attic, there’s a beam that passes over the top of the shower. My husband at 5’10” had to be very careful not to whack his head on it.
Overall, our stay was wonderful, we highly recommend Donata and Martini’s Interno.
