We were very grateful to our beautiful host, Pina, for waiting for us when our train broke down, making us very late. She explained very clearly the security process & all the quirks of staying in a grand old apartment complex. I was very appreciative of the lift as well as the air conditioning - it was 34C. The beautiful marble covered stairs led us to a quaint apartment which looked out onto internal courtyards - it felt like we were living like a local - just what we wanted. We discovered a lovely food place called “Radici” on via Cairoli corner where we found amazing local products like Olive leaf liqueur- very nice. A supermarket, metro and many restaurants were nearby. Our sleep was undisturbed by city noise- bliss. Another favourite experience was drinking the homemade Limoncello, gifted by Pina from her family. The apartment was a home away from home with everything we needed.
