Our stay here was very comfortable. The location was just right for what we needed (something close to our child’s new school). It was quite a value for the money as well.
Massimiliano let us arrive to drop our luggage off at the apartment a bit early to accommodate our flight, which was very kind. He made us feel right at home with his friendly and welcoming demeanor, which was nice after a trans-Atlantic flight. He explained how things worked that we might need (washing machine, drinking the tap water) and answered our questions (how and who to call for a taxi, restaurant recommendations). On a day when rain was possible, it was a relief to know there were several umbrellas near the door. Overall, from the beginning, we felt comfortable in the apartment right away.
We loved being on a main road. It took a little bit for us to realize that this “first floor” apartment is one up from the “ground floor” but that was no big deal to us; it helped that there was an elevator where one of us could take the luggage up. One of our favorite things to do was look out of our bedroom window onto the street below and people watch. Other reviewers did say the air conditioning here is different from the USA, but it did work out fine for us even in August in Italy; but we also were able to turn off the air and open the windows on occasion to let in a cool breeze. Trams, buses, and taxis were all close and very accessible; Trams 3 and 8 stopped right outside the door though our destinations were also walkable. Restaurants, mini-marts, and pasticcerias were close. There is a pharmacy kiddy-corner from the apartment where we could pay about €20 for a nasal swab COVID test (results in 20 minutes) to satisfy that requirement to re-enter the US.
We recommend this apartment and would stay again!
