Alessandra welcomed us to her beautiful home like family. She prepared a wonderful breakfast of biscuits, yogurt, fruit preserves, coffee, and tea each morning from the comfort of her own kitchen. She is very kind and we enjoyed staying at her apartment. The apartment is beautifully designed, and as an amateur home designer myself, I will return to the states with wonderful ideas! The private parking was secure and our walk to the city center was short and lovely. The location of Alessandra's apartment is perfect, a short walk to the Duomo and nestled in an up and coming neighborhood on the other side of the river. Make sure the mosquito repeller is turned on in the room!
