The apartment is even more authentically furnished than in some of the pictures (they have a piano!), and the living room is picture perfect for cordial receptions. Huge windows are everywhere, and the high ceilings are amazing; but as a result during the summer, the AC only really cools the rooms in which the units are located, so the main dining room, hallways, and both bathrooms can get warm.
Stefano and his wife were very welcoming and gracious and responded quickly to any question, and even though the AC for the kitchen and second dining room didn’t work for the first four days, they had it fixed in one afternoon.
I only used the king-size bed, which had a medium-firm mattress. You will not lack for dishes, pots and pans, serving pieces, or any kitchen appliances because this apartment has everything several times over (all those cabinet spaces are full). As with any historic building, the thick walls interfere with the wifi reaching about half the apartment, and the shower water temperature goes hot to cold to hot by itself, but the bathrooms are recently renovated and spacious modern masterpieces.
This apartment is like a visit to a noble house all its own.
