Franca and Mario could not have been better hosts. They went beyond the nuts-and-bolts and were genuinely glad to help. Additionally, there was a
big advantage to having a sister-brother pair of hosts who live in the building, because if one has gone away for a few days, the other was available. They responded immediately to any issue.
The apartment is very comfortable and contains everything you could need. In fact, the main bedroom is even larger than the pictures make it appear. It is pleasantly decorated in “shabby chic” style (if you are not American, this is a description, not a complaint—it means color, not minimalist) and gives the feeling of taking over someone’s home for a while. The big deep bathtub was fantastic, and rare.
We found the closeness to the train station(you could throw a rock from the window and hit it) very convenient. This did generate some noise, with groups of people coming and going, though it did not bother us. We were very happy with our two-month stay!
