Mariangela is the perfect host: extremely responsive communication, quick to resolve any issues, and full of good suggestions. The apartment is fantastic, in a perfect location from everything. In particular the short 5 minute walk to the train station makes it perfect for taking day trips to Pisa, Siena, Bologna, etc. Also impressive is the cleanliness and the ability of the air conditioning to cool the apartment through a week of 100+ degree heat. Despite the central location it is very quiet in the apartment. The kitchen is sufficient for small simple meals and includes basic spices. I would definitely stay there again with my family.
