Katia’s apt is a very traditional Italian abode.
- large kitchen & dining area, with a futon couch,
- upstairs sleeping area with a large comfy bed,
- wonderful roof top deck. Perfect for morning coffee and evening glass of wine.
Be aware that though the area seems questionable, as a woman traveling solo, it was fine. The apt was also within easy walking distance of the Duomo.
Be sure to check out the travelers support office around the corners (left, left, then straight on the left). They are friendly and wonderfully helpful. It can so be a place to hang out our check your bags before flights.
Please note that there are 3 long sets of stairs (2 up to the apartment and 1 up to the bedroom inside the apt). They are very narrow and steep. Travelers with healthy knees and small luggage will have no difficulties.
Katia is wonderfully helpful. She was patient with my limited Italian (I will study more next time). She also let me early because my travel plans resulted in an earlier arrival time.
I wish there had been more time to get to know her and meet her children.
