The location of the property is incredible, no car needed, walk to the four corners, adjacent to the royal palace and cathedral. We cannot believe what an excellent location this was. Note that we would absolutely book here again. Here’s all the deets.
We are a family of four, two children aged 7 and 9. We spent 6 days in the home. Access to check in was extremely simple. Note that the home is on the second floor and it’s really two stories up, floors in this building are exceptionally tall/long. There is no elevator but an excellent bar to hang onto to climb and not fall. The apartment opens to a large bedroom and full bathroom downstairs, round the corner to the huge living room with oversized table, an exceptionally comfortable leather sofa, comfy chairs and soft seating atop of a chest. We locked most of our time in this area. Laundry is also on this floor. Then up the staircase which is rough on bear feet, wear socks or flip flops/shoes. The second floor has a large family table and chairs, the kitchen, two bedrooms (master and another smaller) and a large patio with access to the roof. One more floor up (outside) and your on the roof.
The kitchen was well stocked, we would have loved to see a toaster there but made do without. Tons of plates, pans, cups, silverware, we were able to make three meals before having to run the dishwasher which was great by comparison to other homes. The bathrooms are three full bathrooms the downstairs has a beautiful tub and every single bathroom is fully remodeled.
Windows closed you can’t hear the outside vibrant city, except for the nightly fireworks from local religious celebrations. Two of the beds are soft (not super soft my hubby has a bad back and had no complaints) and one of the single beds is firm. The couch is amazingly comfortable to sleep on as well.
Note that there are not outside windows in the bedroom upstairs, it’s a very artistic style room that my oldest daughter really liked.
The host of this property was incredible responsive, minutes to answer so impressive. She helped us arrange a taxi, and answered all questions with light speed.
The wireless internet speed is fantastic we had four devices running without any issues in speed. Cell phone service for Verizon and T Mobile were excellent. We always felt safe, never even saw a neighbor, the restaurant right next door had outstanding food. The walked to the bakery and it was the best chocolate twist donuts in Italy we have ever tried. Downtown you can access anything you want.
Day 1 we walked 1/2 mile to the major grocery store, it looks small but it was HUGE and we carried back 5 bags of food and a case of water. I would recommend buying or taking bags with you just for easier carrying. Taking our garbage was easy at this home, garbage is a thing in Italy so that’s a big deal. There’s tons of construction taking place for revitalization and none of it was loud, obnoxious, early or late or caused any disruption to our stay.
The roof top at night was truly magical. Laundry machine worked very well, so did the dishwasher. We had an issue with the AC, but in fairness it was the heat wave of 2022, and our host provided us with portable AC ASAP to make it better. The home owner also pays for emergency AC to ensure he doesn’t have issues.
The decor in the house was so rad, we just loved everything about this house! It checks all the boxes.
