I can’t say enough positive things about Carla’s apartment, or how wonderfully she took care of us. The place was spotless, beautiful, clean and I’ve never worked with a more welcoming host. When we arrived there was cold water in the refrigerator, wine and cookies on the counter, towels and slippers on our beds. Just perfect. And I liked the way she checked in with us periodically, clearly, to make sure we were ok and didn’t need anything. Additionally the apartment is very convenient to all the things we wanted to do.
The only thing I need to warn you about (and you get used to it pretty quickly) is there are 79 steps before you get to the apartment door. Like I said, that didn’t take anything away from our enjoyment of our stay and was good training for when we climbed to the top of the dome at the Duomo.
