This apartment was luxurious! Gloriously high ceilings, a charming and HUGE patio, and very quiet and peaceful even though you're only a few minutes walking distance to many of the cities' top sites. And a bonus was what seemed to be a commercial grade 'pod coffee' machine (an Italian brand) which cranked out some really delicious coffee. The hosts were always quick to reply, quick to help, and even arranged airport transfers for us. A medium sized grocery store is 5 minutes walking up the street (with fresh eggs, bread, meats, etc). And there is a park is up the street at the top of the hill which made for the perfect place for my morning run or running along the river is really great too.
