Gabrielle's charming apartment is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean and is equipped with everything you could need. I visited with my 14 year-old daughter in July. The little courtyard is perfect for sitting out to have breakfast in the morning or a drink in the evening. The location is perfect for walking around the city and there are plenty of restaurants within 10 minutes of the front door. Gabriella was so helpful before we arrived giving precise details of how to reach her place by public transport. She gave directions to the cooking course we were booked on for the following day and tips about local supermarkets and restaurants. Bear in mind this is an apartment and, as it was very hot and humid while we were there, with all the windows open there was noise from other apartments. Rather than being a drawback this actually made us feel more immersed in the local community.
