Raffaella's apartment was very clean and stylish. It's in a historic building in the crowded historic section of the town. The area is very lively with lots of restaurants near by. It's a laid-back neighborhood, not a fancy area. I found the neighborhood very loud at night, even 3am in the morning there is some action outside.Overall, the house was pleasant. She has a lovely bedroom and a sweet living room. The upstairs area was also nice. The flat is located on the 3rd floor and there is no elevator given that it's a beautiful and authentic historic building. So if you're traveling with heavy suitcases, you might need help--which Raffaella's house keeper offered. Raffaella was a great host. She left fresh fruits, yogurt and water in the fridge and selection of teas for us to use. I thought that was very thoughtful and sweet. Thanks Raffaella!
