While there is much to rave about, the location of Giulia’s apartment is foremost fantastic. Less than a 5 minute walk to the Metro (and is just the third stop from the train station) made all our city travel super easy. Lots of cafes within walking distance. We are not big shoppers so having all the famous shops all around was neither a plus nor a negative but for some folks, this would be a real bonus. Giulia kindly stocked the kitchen with some fruit, milk, waters, cereal, bread, snacks…so pleasant to come “home” to. Julie, her manager, met us at the door and showed us where everything was and how to use the AC and the keys. Lovely bathroom with excellent shower (for Americans, we are used to larger showers than seems typical in Italy, so we were pleased that this one was relatively spacious). We felt safe walking around at night and loved the vibrancy of the neighborhood. Highly recommend Giulia’s apartment.
