Stop looking right now! You want to stay here! Not only is this apartment EXACTLY as it appears online, the location makes it even better. Oh y'all, I hardly know what to say, other than as soon as I walked in, I didn't want to leave. This is a place that felt like a home away from home. And, if the y'all didn't clue you in, we live in Texas. As you might know, we have certain expectations of space, living where we do, and this apartment is BIG. And beautiful! l mentioned the neighborhood? Restaurants (including 4 that I know of that can feed you gluten-free), a grocery store, a DAILY fruit/food/gifts/flower market, and a bus stop or two - all right there. Did anyone mention the courtyard, where the building and your front door is? Yeah - you'll be sharing it with a jewelry store, Italian fried fish place, cafe, and an old church! While we were there - Christmas time - there was a guy selling roasted chestnuts every night and a street violinist (a good one!) every morning. I told friends, it was like we were staying on a film set. If we're lucky enough to go back, we'll stay in this same place again, no question.

Others mentioned Giorgio, who met us, as well. He was just as friendly and helpful as everyone else said. He even arranged two taxis to pick us up on various mornings, for a tour across the river, and back to the airport, making two tightly scheduled days a breeze.

I'm just going to say it again, y'all, THIS is the place you want to stay.
