Laura is a welcoming host and makes guests feel that her home is open for them enjoy and relax in. The neighborhood is a little out of the historic part of Taomina but only a 5 minute walk away if you use the many steps Laura will show you. The road near the apartment can be noisy but not excessively so. The place is hard to find - Google Maps are not detailed enough and I suggest Laura or her daughter make a map that shows exactly how to get to the building. Plenty of free parking - a real saving. Laura was very kind and cooked us a lovely dinner. Please note Laura has cats which are not inside but if you have any allergy you should take note.
