Erika was a great host! She made us some delicious treats for our arrival and had a very helpful guidebook for us. Every possible need or question, from where to eat to how to use the washing machine, was in the book.
The apartment was exactly as pictured and in a great neighborhood. It was maybe a 10 min walk to the Duomo but in a less touristy area so you can get the real experience. The only downside is that there is no elevator in the building and you do have to climb a few flights of stairs.
