Barbara’s place is just lovely, and she’s an amazing host. She communicated with us easily and in advance of our stay and allowed us to check in early. We were hoping to drop our bags and not otherwise rush the check in, but Batabara had everything ready for us. We expected the apartment to be nice and comfortable, but it was so much more! We immediately said to one another, “we could live here!” It’s far more spacious than I expected, sparkling clean, furnished nicely, and every thoughtful touch has been provided. Barbara gave us lots of recommendations, checked on our stay midway through our visit, added more recommendations when she thought of them, and was just a delight. We’ve stayed in many rented Italian apartments for monthly rentals, have stayed in many Airbnb spots for a few days, and Barbara’s place was just the nicest of all. We tend to be low maintenance and not in need of luxuries, hoping more for cultural experiences than niceties, but Barabara added so much comfort, kindness, and ease to our stay. She’s a fabulous host who cares about making her guests truly enjoy their stay.
