Location was perfect! Apartment was spacious and stocked with all the comforts of home ( including nice towels/linens, toiletries, etc. ). The outdoor sitting area was filled with lovely plants and provided a quite place to have coffee/wine. Santa Croce is a safe and fun neighborhood on its own and a short walking distance to the major attractions.
The hostess was great! She made the check in/out process easy and was quick to reply. The charge for extra guests is pricy but after staying there I understand why she wouldn't want a large ( loud ) group staying there. The patio looks over a rose garden surrounded by a residential area.
