Alessandra's apartment is in an 18th century palazzo on the Corso Vittorio Emanuele. This is a busy street but the noise was not disturbing. The apartment is a second floor walk up - 65 steps with no elevator. There is a combined kitchen/dining room, a large living room, a small bedroom with a double bed and a mezzanine above the living room reached by a spiral staircase with a double bed and a single bed. There is a full and a half bathroom. The apartment was very clean. There are two wall mounted heat pumps for heat and air conditioning. We were there during a cool period in winter and the heat was just adequate. There is free street parking right in front of the building. It was crowded, but we could find a spot. The location is great - there are bakeries, food stores and restaurants nearby and anyplace downtown is easily reachable on foot.
Alessandra was a great host. She was responsive, helpful with recommendations and did the check in and check out in person.
It was a great experience to stay in a palazzo with 4 meter high ceilings and furniture to match.
