Emilia was a very gracious hostess, greeting us with coffee and tea and helping with bags. She even let me stow my bags in her apartment for a few hours on the day of checkout so that I could visit one more museum, and she called a taxi to take me to the train station.
The apartment was as described -- but the pictures do not convey how stylish all of the furnishings are, and how comfortable the apartment is to stay in. The upstairs bed looks a bit awkward in the photos but we stayed only in that bed for the entire week, as it was cozy and comfortable. Similarly the couch looks a little strange and modern but it is very comfortable as well. I am sure that the downstairs bed is fine but we did not even try it. The shower upstairs is a bit on the small side by American standards but not by Italian standards, and there is a good size jacuzzi bathtub in the downstairs bathroom. Also Emilia provide coffee and tea in the well-equipped kitchen.
