Paola was very responsive to all of my inquires. I had many questions about the home, arrival etc. we even decided to arrange the chef to come and teach us authentic Italian techniques. Each step Paola handled quickly and effiently.

Alberto our chef was awesome but the real gem was Aurora his assistant. She was as excited to learn as we were. She worked very hard to translate Alberto's passion to us, even though he spoke English very well. This was the highlight of our trip. The kitchen was fully stock with tools etc and the market is right around the corner so with or without the chef you could cook great meals.

Location. It is located very close to the market and the main historical locations like Del Duomo etc. th actual neighborhood is a bit rough and loud but you can't beat how quickly you can walk to all the great sites.

Inside. The apartment is decorated with a very modern cool feel. Definitely laid out architecturally. Only down side is privacy. It was just my wife and I on this trip so it was ok. If our kids were there it would have been shall we say less romantic. Neither bedroom has doors. The upstairs bathroom looks down into the lower bathroom so if you had two couples and you were in the upstairs bathroom you would be looking straight down to that shower.

We will be back and would stay there again. They were so nice and accommodating. First time using Airbnb and was worried it would be a good experience. Thanks to Paola, Alberto and Aurora it was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Now to working on making it a twice in a lifetime experience and do it again. Enjoy
