This flat has a real old Italian feel and you feel like you are living in someones home which makes it special. It does lack some home comforts like nice towels, kettle, toaster, proper coat hangers and an under equipped kitchen, all easy to remedy. It is best suited to individual couples as there are three bedrooms but no sitting room and a shared kitchen which was too small for the 8 of us to eat together but fine for small groups. We were a family so it was hard as there is no real public space except the hall (with sofa) . We struggled with laundry as there was no means of drying anything and the flat stays very cool - perfect in the summer I am sure. We found it a little cold because of those gorgeous high ceilings. It is an easy 30 min walk into town. We found the noise of the train day and night hard for sleeping/working. The owner is very kind and responsive. I found it expensive given its location, lack of sitting room etc.
