Marie's apartment was located away from the main tourist areas- It has a local feel with a little market directly across the street- The apartment provides enough space for people to have some privacy- as the "living areas" are on 2 levels. The apartment is well stocked -the kitchen has plenty of dishes, wine glasses and a great espresso maker. It is decorated in sort of an Ikea minimalist style with painted floors- some interesting art pieces and pops of color- Overall the apartment is comfortable although the beds are extremely hard. Also there is no toilet in "master" bedroom only a shower and sink which was a little strange- As mentioned by others, the view from the rooftop is impressive and the steps to the apartment can be difficult if you have heavy luggage -although Samuel will help you with your bags. Of course it is a great way to keep in shape and still eat lots of pasta- Marie was extremely responsive and easy to work with.
