I read dozens of reviews before choosing Sabrina and Alessio’s place. Important to me were reviews relating to comfort. I can say that what I read was 100% accurate.
The bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. The bed is larger than an American queen but slightly smaller than a king. A very big bed by European standards, and bigger than many of the places I looked at.
The hosts were very accommodating, letting us leave our luggage before check in, and after checkout briefly while we did last minute souvenir shopping. Also, he offered help with the luggage up the one flight of stairs. And they even left a bottle of wine to enjoy. They were very responsive too. We had trouble with the heating, and Alessio walked me through restarting the system and was ready to come over at a convenient time if he had to manually adjust it.
Kitchen was well equipped, but we didn’t go to Italy to cook. But we made coffee on several mornings. The apartment is less than a 5 minute walk from restaurants and the Mercado Central, where you can find plenty of eating options on the second floor.
Bathroom was beautifully decorated and had a powerful hair dryer and a flat iron (a definite plus for us frizz-prone ladies). There were also several full size bottles of body wash, shampoo and conditioner to choose from.
Location was excellent too. We could walk to much of central city in 15 minutes or less. I know a lot of people say that, but I am in my 40s and viewed those comments with some skepticism. However, even for me, with back and foot issues, it was a comfortable walk.
Overall, it was a five star experience!
