Rachele’s apartment is everything a traveler wants. It’s furnished with all necessities and many extras (including a full kitchen) and spacious enough to provide a sense of home. It’s quiet at all times of the day and night but within a two- minute walk to shops & markets of all kinds, a little off the beaten path but with a couple of bus stops just out the front gate. The bed is firm but comfortable, the bathroom easy to move around in, there’s plenty of hot water and the entire apartment is controlled by a very good climate system. Rachele herself is the most informative and helpful host imaginable, with good recommendations for just about everything: cheap but delicious meals, important cultural events, worthwhile historical sites. We’d stay there again in a heartbeat.
