Alessandra's place was perfect. The location is on a private feeling street with no hustle & bustle. But half a block in either direction, there is anything and everything you need from markets to pharmacies to shopping and restaurants.
The apartment is soooo cool. The retro style and all the little interesting decorations were great. The coffee & tea service was ideal for mornings. If you are from the US, ask how to use the washer. It was so convenient to have and I was amazed at how quickly my things dried on the drying rack to my concern about no electric dryer shouldn't be a concern or yours.
Her friend checked us in and it was smooth and convenient. The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. The shower was plenty big by European standards.
There is absolutely nothing to say negative about this place. I will recommend to all my friends & family and I will definitely return myself.
