Chiara's apartment is a spacious, comfortable and tastefully decorated home away from home. We are a single couple but the apartment could easily cater for a family or two couples. There are two large bedrooms and bathrooms, a large living/dining area and a small but well-equipped kitchen. Everything that one needs for day to day living is provided. The apartment is literally like an oasis in the middle of the busy historic centre, being situated in a quiet spot overlooking a walled park with large date palms. It is very conveniently located for site-seeing, is an easy walk from the central railway station and has a 7 day per week/ 24 hour per day supermarket within a 5 minute walk.
Excellent as the apartment is, it is surpassed by the warmth of Chiara's welcome. She has put considerable thought and effort into preparing useful itineraries with explanatory notes; selections and locations of recommended restaurants within the area and general useful information with addresses etc. She is clearly passionate about her home city. She waited patiently for the late arrival of our bus and went through everything with us. She left us a gift of something delicious and told us that she would be available at any time if we needed to contact her. We did, in fact, take her up on this offer after a couple of days when we experienced some personal difficulties. Chiara insisted upon taking time off work in order to come and help us.
We could not recommend the apartment or Chiara, as a host, more highly.
