Patrizia and Gianni should be hired by Air BnB to teach others about how to be Super Hosts. They were fantastic--from our early contact, to email and texts as I was arriving, to checking in occasionally to see if I needed anything. The apartment is exactly as they have described--perhaps better, as the building is quite quiet, aside from the typical street noise of a city. The bed was comfortable, the closet space (an antique armoire) perfect, the kitchen had all I needed--including some basic staples to get started with. I stayed 5 nights, and I could easily imagine staying longer. The location is fantastic, as well--Santa Croce to the south and the Duomo to the west were easily walkable, as was the whole city. I would readily stay at thei apartment again, and I will certainly recommend it to friends.

And with hosts and accommodations like Patrizia and Gianni's, I can't imagine ever considering staying in a hotel again. Bravo!
