Laura is a lovely host who works hard to insure her guests have their needs met. Her kitchen is well stocked with necessary cooking items, she has a large refrigerator, and The whole house is very large. It is somewhat like a hostel in that she does not reside there, only you have a private room. She was always in close contact.
The location suited me because I prefer to be outside the intensity of the center. 4 buses serve the intersection just a stones throw from her house. One thing to note is that her place is on the 3rd floor, so if stairs poses an obstacle, keep that in mind. Her linens and towels are very nice, unlike many other places I have stayed.
All in all a pleasant experience and a first rate host. I would offer my recommendations. Also, the Mello Pizza around the corner was the best I have had in Italy, and the same for the Gelato place a few blocks down the street. There is also a Pam grocery store about 2 blocks from the apartment.
