I stayed at Barbara's place for eight nights whilst following an Italian course at the Madrelingua school. Incidentally, an amazing place to learn Italian.
The apartment was perfect for me with all the amenities I needed and only a ten minute walk to the school. In fact the apartment is ideally placed for visiting the historical centre and only a short distance from the bus stop/station to get to and from the airport. The apartment itself is small but it is comfortable and has a lovely large bathroom.
There are restaurants close by and I recommend the Via Pratello (just around the corner) for great bars and places to eat away from the more touristy areas. There are plenty of little shops and supermarkets close by too.
Someone was there to meet me and show me around, even though I arrived late on Saturday night.
Barbara was a great host, always easy to communicate with and quick to respond.
Thank you Barbara.
