Mariangela's apartment is EXCEPTIONALLY clean. The kitchen has good counter space for cooking and is well organized and spotless. It was so helpful having a washing machine, too. It was also a lot of fun hanging out clothing to try on the clothesline on the back porch.
The beds, linens, and pillows are new and comfortable. The bedrooms are spacious.
Most of all, the apartment is located in an authentic neighborhood away from the touristy areas. There is a local bakery, supermarket, and series of shops three minutes from the apartment. And, the train station to the attractions is five minutes away and only one stop to Santa Maria Novela.
I am so glad that we staying at Mariangela's because she is caring, thoughtful, an excellent host (who booked a taxi for us) and described where we could find various things within the neighborhood. She is extremely responsive and a person with such integrity. We felt so fortunate to find her and her apartment amongst the many options.
We always felt completely safe, unlike some moments when we were in the more touristy areas at night. Everything was just very easy, organized and pleasant in its comfort and simplicity. I cannot say enough lovely things about Mariangela.
