Great hosts, excellent location, large, airy and light apartment with a big kitchen, good price. The apartment belonged to the host’s grandmother and it has the comfort and graciousness of being at grandmas house. . The rooms are large and full of light. The kitchen is big enough to cook meals in with all the essential cooking equipment - unlike many airbnbs which just have tiny kitchen areas. There is a nice terrace with a table. There is a clothes washer which is very convenient and lots of hot water. Our hosts provided us with several large bottles of water. Because it is an older apartment, there is a tub with a hand held hose and shower head instead of a shower.
The apartment is about a mile from the historic area of the city, close to the Piazza Cavour and the Ethnobotanic garden. The street is quiet and safe. There is an excellent supermarket across the street with rotisserie chickens and a good selection of cheeses and meats. It only took us 20 min to walk to the historic city center, but it you don’t want to walk, there is a bus and metro stop 2 blocks away.
Our hosts Valentina and Giuseppe were wonderful. They picked us up from the airport and took us to the bus station when we left. We didn’t realize that the apartment did not have WIFI, but when we said we needed it, our hosts installed it the same day. If you need WIFI, be sure to tell them before you arrive.
We highly recommend Trattoria da Peppino for dinner, 2 blocks away. Their food is terrific and they serve you sherbet, cookies and aperitif after dinner.
