Location, location, location!! Anything we wanted and needed was within walking distance— even with a 2 year old and my 75 year old mom. For me, no lift in a 5th fl walk up (for Americans, 4th floor otherwise) was a good thing...I’m still trying to lose baby weight. For someone unaccustomed to climbing those stairs, or with a lot of luggage, that could be a challenge.
We were well received by Tommaso’s brother, who wakes us up to the flat and showed us around. The place is charming and appointed with what one would need.
I could write a lot more, but the bottom line is that the location and proximity to everything was great. I highly recommend it.
