Excellent - both Marina and her apartment. Our host was helpful and gracious and her apartment is wonderful with special touches. We're think she may be (or should be) a boutique hotelier, designer, or antiques dealer. The apartment is very sophisticated and livable - we didn't want to leave. I haven't been surrounded by this much polished mahogany other than on a very nice boats. Via Brisa is quiet and interesting (archaeological site just outside the door) but just a short walk away are cafes, restaurants, shopping and the Duomo. 5 stars is not enough - we vote six! Thank you, Marina!
