We stayed in both apartments Matteo and Letizia, and had a great experience. The apartments are great, and Tarcisio is such a friendly, gentlemanly host.

The location is great---we could walk across the bridge to the center of the action in about 15 minutes. And it is a pleasant walk. But the apartment is great that it is outside the tourist madness, and you feel like you're in a real Italian neighborhood. There are a number a neat restaurants in the vicinity, though we were in town such a short time that we didn't get to indulge.

There is a huge supermarket nearby, so you can take advantage of Matteo's kitchen---start your day with that first cup of coffee and light breakfast, or end with a homecooked meal. The apartment is super-comfortable, and a great place to relax at the end of the day, to make plans for the next day, etc.

And Tarcisio. people have already said great things about him (and admittedly, those reviews were another reason we rented these apartments), so all I can say is Yes, he is a great guy, super friendly and very helpful with advice. Also, a neat fact---these apartments were his former woodshop. Letizia, next door, is furnished with all his work. So cool.

And make sure you visit Piazzale Michelangelo for a lovely sunset! Bring a snack or you can purchase one, and get one of the best views in the world!
