Laura was waiting at the flat when we arrived from the train station and was very welcoming and helpful. We loved the map she has done of the city and it's sights! The location was excellent for getting around on foot and feeling like a 'local'. We took Laura's recommendation and had a lunch at the fruit and vegetable Mercato - it was fabulous! The apartment was as described - a little bit noisy but living like a local was great. Great shower.
