Prior to arriving at Astrids place, she communicated with us on multiple occasions to make sure all arrangements were in place. When we got there, she was waiting for us with the keys and instructions. The location of the apartment is excellent. It's located steps from the end of the Pontevecchio which makes sightseeing very convenient. There is also a grocery store right next store for those who prefer to cook. The downside to the prime location is the noise. All day and night, cars can be heard whizzing past, honking, ambulance sirens, etc. It often seemed louder in the apartment than on the street, which made sleeping a bit difficult. Overall the apartment was fairly well stocked, we had all supplies needed for cooking, making coffee, washing clothes, etc. The host also provided bread and yogurt for breakfast.

The bed was comfortable. There is no wifi or tv here, so plan to spend time out exploring the fabulous city, rather than staying home. Based on the location and amenities, the place is a good value for the money overall.
