Our stay at Irene’s apartment could not have been more perfect! Irene is very organized and such a gracious host. Her place is very secure and the lift is right next to her front door which makes it easy to get bags in and out. She even had information on local neighborhood restaurants and a taxi app that was a lifesaver to use. Great neighborhood local experience right off of the Duomo area. We even canceled dinner reservations somewhere else one evening to instead choose one of her neighborhood recommendations…. La Fettunta, an amazing Tuscan restaurant that was by far one of our best meals in Italy. The owner recognized that I have a Chicago phone number. He then went on to tell us that his son lives in Chicago and is a pilot for American Airlines. They treated us with extra attention! So very cool! If you don’t stay at Irene’s place you are missing out. And a secret for Summer travelers… She has great air conditioning that gets really cold!!
