I could not ask for a more hospital host like Elena. She welcomed us warmly, providing a map, showed us where things are on the map. The apartment has everything you need, located in a central spot close to Duomo. It's actually within walking distance to the train station (I think about 15-20 minutes walk) and car rental (about 10-15 minutes walk). Of course you will need to drag your luggage on cobble stones. But it wasn't too bad as we walked to Hertz rental car upon checkout as taxi drivers were on strike. Elena spent over an hour on the phone trying to secure a taxi for us that morning, not mentioning the extensive time she spent the night before trying to book us a cab.

I love love the fact that the building was historic, the formerly Boghese palace. lots of history. the terrace with a view is fantastic! I love the modern renovation of the bathroom, providing convenience and comfort.

There were some hickups in WIFI and bathroom smell, however, that's quite common in Italy I found. It happened else where too during our 2-week stay in Italy.

I can not recommend more of Elena's place!!!!
