The apartment is in a great location, close to the metro, market and laundry! It is clean, comfortable and has all the modern amenities (except for the washer, but laundry is VERY close by!). The apartment is in a charming old building (with a lift!) with lots of light and A/C in the bedrooms. More importantly our stay was so pleasant because Paola is a VERY gracious host! She was very helpful booking our transportation from the airport and giving us tips on restaurants and sights around the city. She provided guidebooks and maps and directions to almost everything and was available for questions. It was very comfortable and spacious for our family of four. I would definitely recommend this apartment!!
And thank you and your grandfather for the cherries, Paola! They were great to have with us on the train to Venice- well what was left of them!
