Definitely a home away from home! We stayed at Giuseppe's beautiful apartment on the last 2 days of our 3 week vacation. It was fabulous! Very comfortable with a living area large enough for my family of 5 to relax in together. Plenty of sleeping space with comfortable beds and nice linens and towels. The bathroom is quite large. There is no air conditioning but after opening the windows and getting some cross ventilation in motion it does cool off quite nicely at night. I felt like Giuseppe was welcoming a family member when I found fresh fruit, milk, juice and water in the fridge for our use. He also left cereal and cookies. His kitchen was well equipped with all we needed to prepare our own dinner. We had actually decided to go to a restaurant that Giuseppe had recommended that was down the street but found out that they didn't open until later in the evening. We walked to the grocery store down the street and bought food to prepare our own meal. (Quite a treat after having eaten out every meal for 3 weeks!) The location is in a neighborhood instead of the city center which was a nice change of pace. Very close to the metro and very easy to get around. Being in a local neighborhood was a great experience however, we didn't find anyone that spoke English as we had when we were in the heart of the city. We were able to communicate with the help of our Italian phrase book and patience on the part of the locals! I would definitely stay at this apartment again. Giuseppe was always very quick to respond to e-mails and went out of his way to make our stay more enjoyable!
