Claudia's place is wonderful! It's literally a 2 minute walk to Piazza Santa Croce- 1 minute if you're faster :-) The apartment is small and lovely- the decor is Uplifting and simple. Very modern, peaceful and warm vibe. The patio is wonderful. The weather was good so I just slept outside on the cosy furniture. I spent both evenings out there eating dinner or breakfast.. The view is good and just everything about it is pleasant..it's a very romantic spot
There are 2 restaurants downstairs and a bar across the street that is small and fun-
For me, the area is perfect for what I like to do. I don't have any complaints about the apartment at all. Not one. There are even disco lights in the shower head :-))))
I will say though, if you have heavy luggage and you aren't very strong, it is an undertaking getting up all those stairs. 4 stories or so and it isn't easy. If you have bad knees or anything like that, this may be a difficult stay for you. For me that part was really difficult but well worth it.
Claudia was on holiday and let us have the place to ourselves and it worked out nicely, though it would have been nice to meet her
