Patrizia/Conney's home is stylish and comfortable. Being on the first floor is a big bonus. We were there during peak heat but were quite comfortable in the bedrooms (only the master bedroom has a/c but the large floor fan in the second bedroom is more than enough for a comfortable sleep). The pullout couch in the living room is comfortable but the heat in the living room can get uncomfortable as currently there isn't a fan in that room.
When I asked for a recommendation for an Italian cooking classes for our kids, Patrizia arranged to have her daughter come to the apartment and teach a pasta dish, pizza and tiramisu one night. It was customized, friendly and so much fun!
When arriving with baggage and family, I would recommend taking a taxi or Uber instead of the public transit bus. Carrying bags up the hill and around the bend in the heat is a tough way to start the trip. But once you are settled in, commuting to various sites is easy enough with buses and connecting metro. Most major sites are within a half hour bus ride.
Our time at Patricia's lovely apartment was memorable and sweet. Would definitely recommend.
