Our host maurizio actually met us at the airport and drove us to the apartment where he had a bottle of Chianti and a bottle of champagne along with numerous snacks for us to enjoy. When we had difficulties with the television he came over twice at night to help us. He was an excellent host and obviously is proud of his apartment as well as the services he provides. As for the apartment it is quite large and perfect for two. There is a small second bedroom we didn’t use. There are huge windows with outside plantation shutters which we kept open much of the time. The bed was comfortable and the linens very nice. The apartment also has a dishwasher, an espresso machine and all of the cutlery, dishes and kitchen utensils you could need. He even provided umbrellas and electric converters. He answered all my questions I had before our trip immediately through the Airbnb website. The only problem we had was that we couldn’t figure out how to use the clothes dryer and neither could he. We had packed very lightly because we knew there was a dryer so ended up having to hang wet clothing over all kinds of surfaces to let them dry, a minor issue. The location of the apartment couldn’t be better. Just a few steps away from the Duomo and other attractions. There is a cafe/bar across the street where the staff is very nice. I am an early riser so I went there every morning for coffee and to use my iPad while my husband slept. I highly recommend this property.
