Monica’s apartment is very spacious, rustic and charming. It is conveniently located within walking distance to the train station (about 7 minutes) and a 7 to 15 minute walk to most of the major attractions. We felt safe on all streets leading to/from the apartment. We stayed in late June and it was very hot. The AC worked well and we were comfortable. There is a booklet with everything you need to know about the apartment from how to operate the AC to using the washing machine to using the stereo, and more. One thing to consider is you have to walk up one story to the apartment on a steep narrow staircase so if you have very heavy luggage please take note. If you are particular about a mattress note it is OK (very firm). Monica and her son Ranieri are very prompt with communication before and during your stay which is very helpful and reassuring.
