This is a wonderful place to stay in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. The space is surprisingly spacious and very comfortable. Top things to know: comfortable bed, large bathroom, good shower, very good places to eat across the street or in either direction and, most importantly, my wife and I felt absolutely safe in the room, leaving valuables there and when walking in the neighborhood no matter how late.
Margherita is a wonderful and generous host. She warmly and exuberantly met us in front of the building as if we were old friends welcoming us with open arms.
Taking us in hand, she opened the huge doors to the courtyard, took my wife’s suit case and carried up the two flights to the door of the flat.
She led us through the sizable entrance to a comfortable sitting area/hallway complete with a small sofa and table where a hot water maker and two delicate tea cups and saucers of china, a selection of tea bags and two kinds of instant coffee were waiting.
The room itself is lovely. The large double armoire easily handle our clothes and luggage keeping the room clear of clothes clutter.
The oversized window opens to overlook the courtyard and it’s fruit tree.
The bathroom is huge, modern and clean.
Margherita suggested restaurants where locals gather. The one we tried was delicious and low key. She also graciously booked a taxi for us on our departure.
Finally we found this location to be perfect. You are close enough to walk to many must-see places and some hidden treasures we would have otherwise missed. There are bus stops just around the corner or across the bridge. Yet you are out of the crowds in your own special part of this wonderful city.
