My husband and I stayed 11 days in this lovely apartment. We were greeted by an assistant of Maria Elisa's, Lorenzo, who showed us the apartment and the rooftop terrace, and provided a map with important information & recommendations for restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. There is also a folder in the apartment with restaurant recommendations - in several languages!! The apartment is exactly as pictured, with spacious rooms, high ceilings, beautiful decor, well equipped kitchen, lots of electrical outlets, plenty of storage, washer-dryer combo, and good Wi-Fi. We had everything we needed for our stay and the location is great - within walking distance of the train station (making day trips to other cities a snap), shopping (too many options to list!), grocery stores, and all the major tourist attractions. (Be sure to check out Eataly - a combination upscale grocery store and restaurant a couple of blocks away.) And then there is the rooftop terrace - amazing view! You almost feel like you can reach out and touch the dome! I think it is important to note in this review that noise is a constant reminder that you are in an apartment, in the heart of a big city, on a main street. Noises inside the building include the slamming shut of the massive front door to the building, the rattling of the elevator cage, and the voices of other tenants echoing in the hallways. Noises outside the building include crowd sounds (voices, occasional singing & parades), traffic, and the 6:30 am street sweeping machine. So, as others have mentioned, the front bedroom (the one with the beautiful blue headboard) would be difficult to sleep in, and the living room (which is also at the front of the building), is not a peaceful place to relax. Lastly, if you are staying during the summer months we recommend confirming that the air conditioning is working. From day one of our visit in warm mid-June, it mal-functioned throughout the day and night. After many messages to Maria Elisa over the first six days of our stay, a few visits from her to try to figure out what was wrong, and a visit from the air conditioning company's technician, the "solution" provided to us from Maria Elisa was for us to flip the main circuit breaker off and back on whenever the air-conditioning stopped in order to re-boot the system. So that's what we did, 4 or 5 times a day, crossing our fingers that it continued to work as a temporary fix. Maria Elisa apologized several times and assured us it would be repaired after our departure. Needless to say, we were disappointed with this situation and the 'resolution'. The air conditioning is an important feature of this listing. It should have been working when we arrived, or repaired quickly once the problem was identified. We also felt Maria Elisa's response to our messages was slow and inconsistent, with some of the messages on day two going completely unanswered. (Lorenzo, on...
