This apartment was beautiful, well located, as stylish and functional as it is in the pictures and meticulously clean. Gemma was a most gracious and thoughtful host. I tried her restaurant recommendations with great success. Her suggestion of L’Ortone provided an extraordinary meal — maybe the best in my whole Italian vacation.
I love the location: close and convenient to but just enough removed from the heart of the tourist area to be quieter (not perfectly quiet on a weekend night, but pretty good) and in a part of the city that felt more authentically an Italian neighborhood. The little grocery shop just downstairs was also very convenient. There’s also a bike rental shop just downstairs, which I didn’t use but seemed very convenient also.
Guests should be aware that the apartment is on the second (what Americans would call the third) floor, so there’s a bit of stair-climbing for those who have any difficulty with that. It didn’t bother me.
