Perfect Stay for 19 days! I could not have asked for a better host, apartment or location! Nadia went above and beyond to help me figure out the transportation systems for day trips and even arranged cabs for me when I had difficulty to do so. She was always immediately there to answer any questions and offer help for a US citizen staying in a foreign country.
As a female solo traveler, I found the location in the city to be very safe and extremely clean, with friendly shop owners. The streets were surely kept cleaner than I am accustomed to seeing in the US! Getting to the central location of the city with the Twin Towers and Piazza Maggiore, "downtown," is just a little more than an American block away where there are shops and restaurants galore! However, the best coffee and pastries that I found, with incredible service, was right down the street at Sartoria Restaurant and Cafe--do not miss it! Two of the best pizza's I had during my stay were also right down the street at Berbere' Pizzeria and Pizzeria spacca Napoli. I could go on about the pescheria, tapas spots, and fresh fruits and vegetables just steps away! Do not hesitate to check these fabulous places out, with no need to walk further than one block!
I found the apartment to be immaculately clean and well-kept. It was quite large with loads of storage. I appreciated the large refrigerator/freezer with the length of my stay, as well as the great working air conditioner with the unusual high temperatures; even for August. The bed was very comfortable and the shower, within a very large bathroom, was heavenly! All appliances were in excellent working condition. Did I mention the fabulous Nescafé coffee maker? Lovely!
I would not hesitate to highly recommend Nadia's apartment. I wish it was my place! :)
I cannot thank you enough for a such a wonderful experience, Nadia!
