Elena’s apartment was superb. She clearly has an artistic eye that is quite evident in each piece of furniture and decoration throughout this charming apartment. She was easy to communicate with and very accommodating. The ceilings were higher than I expected in the living area and bathrooms which was nice. They are lower on one side of the bedrooms, but that wasn’t an issue for my wife and I. Who are both average height. The view from the private balcony is spectacular with a panoramic view of the city. We did not mind walking into town (about 30 minutes to the duomo) as you get a nice view of the more residential area as well as the more “local” bar scene prior to crossing the river. In my opinion, it is a nicer area than the center of town on the other side of the river. Ultimately if you appreciate the aesthetics and charm, the minor inconvenience of the lower ceilings in part of the apartment is of little concern. We highly recommend this apartment.
