Absolutely the best stay at Beatrice’s apartment! We spent 1 month here, working remotely, and had everything we could possibly need and more! Some of our highlights were:
- High-speed wifi (enough for two people to be at work on video calls all day long).
- Beautiful decor. Beatrice’s apartment is decorated to a really high standard with books and art from her extensive travels. It feels homely but totally beautiful and interesting. High ceilings, colourful stone floors, and fascinating objects from around the world.
- Very well-stocked kitchen (every possible utensil, spice, and coffee-making item you could wish for, plus an amazing gas hob - things like sharp knives and good quality utensils and a blender made such a difference!). We cooked a lot in the apartment, and had everything we needed.
- Great shops and restaurants nearby. The market at the end of the road is a must!
- Dishwasher, washing machine, TV, music system etc. Everything worked perfectly.
- The apartment is near the train station, which is brilliant as we made lots of day trips to Venice, Florence, Parma and Ferrara.
But most of all, Beatrice herself! She went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible and was the most helpful Airbnb host we have ever had. She has great tips for neighbouring cities (ask her about Parma and Ferrara!), and did such a fantastic job of keeping us up-to-date with all the latest Covid regulations. Every time the local guidelines changed Beatrice let us know immediately, and even went as far as translating the ‘curfew document’ into English for us. She arranged for the apartment to be cleaned free of charge halfway through our stay, booked us a taxi at 4am, and was super prompt at answering any question we had (whether it was about the history of Ferrara, where to find the best parmesan, or which regions of Italy we were allowed to travel to).
