The profile didn't disappoint - we had high expectations based on the images Manu provided and we were thrilled with our accommodation. The apartment is ideal for a long term stay - we stayed 12 nights. Our stay was in winter time and the apartment was warm and the showers hot. We had all the tools we needed for cooking our own meals after visiting Sant'Ambrogia markets which are very close by. The apartment is appointed with books, art, and tasteful touches that make you feel right at home. The nearby village has everything you could possibly need - bakeries, cafe bars, enotecha wine stores, alimentari for milk and other groceries, and a supermarket close by. Santa Croce is 5 minutes walk away, Duomo, 20 minutes away. There are buses that will take you to the train station, but we walked most of the time. I can't recommend the apartment enough - if you want to stay for a while and feel like a local, this is the place to be. It's perfect for a family - our 7 year old loved the soccer table. Thank you Manu!
