Splendid location! European feel in an old building with stone staircases, marble in the bathrooms and on the dining room table but modern amenities and welcoming comfort as well. The kitchen table under the fan was our favorite hangout to have a cold drink, eat a $4 pannini from one of the downstairs restaurants or a fresh squeezed fruit/veggie juice (Spremuta) from the coffee shop around the corner to the right and catch up from our days outing before heading out to an 8 or 9 p.m. dinner reservation - Italian style. Walking distance to multiple restaurants, sights, transportation, shopping and gelateria. ATM, grocery, souvenirs and morning coffee right outside the door. Light, bright and airy front room with armed guards opposite the front door - I've never felt safer. City vibe with lots of tourists on the pretty cobblestone narrow streets right outside the door but second floor location and bedrooms facing inner courtyards allowed for very quiet sleep. Spacious enough for two families and a teen who wanted her own space. Even in HOT July there was fantastic, quick-start air conditioning and a large kitchen table fan to keep us cool/chilled and instant hot water for rinsing the city dust off. Big fridge, all the amenities including nespresso, kettle, toaster, large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, safe, washing machine and drying racks with washer tabs. TONS of closets and plenty of room for luggage. Spotlessly clean. Plenty of plush white towels. Even a bidet in each bathroom. Elvira is a fabulous (and charming!) host and full of wonderful recommendations tailored to your group's needs. Utterly fluent in fast spoken English. HIGHLY recommend.
