We had a good experience in Isidora's studio in Pigneto - Isidora had taken her kids to the beach when we arrived, so her husband checked us in, who unfortunately didn't speak English. As we were gone from mid-morning to late evening, we never had the opportunity to meet Isidora or her kids, who sounded wonderful from previous reviews. The studio is very private, and we had our own keys to enter. We much appreciated the things Isidora did to make our experience more comfortable, from shampoo and conditioner to delicious biscotti and juices. We had some trouble with the bus system during our stay, and the apartment was a fair ways out of the city center, but in a very authentic area.
