What a lovely apartment! As other people have said, the photos don't really do it justice - we found it spotlessly clean and has lots of character. We loved the different furniture and interesting artwork on the walls, and we enjoyed the CD selection too - some opera, jazz, David Bowie, Tom Waits, Billie Holliday, and more...lots of choice for a nice relaxing ambience. The little private patio on the courtyard is also very pretty! Well equipped kitchen if you want to cook - again, everything was beautifully clean. And the little details provided by Gabriella such as the coffee in the fridge, little cakes for breakfast, and delicious chocolates we really appreciated! The apartment is quite cool which is great for a hot day, but also warms up easily if you need to turn the heating on. The area has a nice residential feel so you feel like a local, with a couple of lovely restaurants nearby, but equally is only 5 - 10 mins walk from the main historical centre. If travelling from the airport it takes about 1 hour in total to get to the apartment from the airport via bus (BLQ airport bus + another bus you catch from the Central Station, or you can walk from the station, about 30 mins). Gabriella was very friendly to deal with and offered to meet us at the bus stop near the apartment, but this wasn't necessary as it's very easy to find the apartment. All in all, very very happy with our stay and thanks again Gabriella for being such a good host.
