The apartment was lovely in a very nice and convenient part of the city. The neighborhood was great in all aspects: short walk to public transportation; lots of shopping, restaurants, banks, and grocery stores within a block or two. The area was very residential and even the city noises were charming, as was the smell of the bakery downstairs.

Mimma and Claudia warmly welcomed us upon our arrival with coffee and cornetto and the kitchen was well stocked with extra coffee, fruit, and snacks :) Mimma and Claudia went out of their way to help us arrange to have our son practice at a gymnastics facility during our stay. They also checked in will us during the week and were accessible by email and telephone.

The wi-fi was reliable. It was wonderful that the apartment had a modern washer/dryer, but our American peers should understand that this appliance is not nearly as efficient as the laundry to which we are accustomed (for example, a typical wash/dry cycle ran 5-6 hours, just a wash cycle was 2-3 hours).

Overall, the apartment was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated; we enjoyed the outdoor space as well. The building was quiet and felt secure. We would certainly choose this apartment again and would recommend it without hesitation.
