We loved staying here. Location next to Piazza Santa Croce is wonderful—a few blocks outside the touristy center but so close to the river, main sights, shopping and surrounded by great food. We navigated to everything on foot without even using a map since everything was so close.
The apartment is very chic, spotless, well appointed and cared for. Check in was smooth and communication very helpful and prompt.
The book of local recommendations is extensive —one of the best I’ve ever seen in an airbnb— and a great resource (but only in Italian.) Elisa was very communicative, friendly and standing by to help with suggestions.
The bed was very comfortable and the flat is spacious with generous living and dining areas as well as a closet. I would absolutely stay here again.
The only thing to note for future travelers is that voices from the street are audible in the apartment through the one window near the bed. It’s not something the host can do anything to prevent; just the natural result of stone buildings echoing off each other. It’s a relatively quiet neighborhood, but even the conversation of a pair of people walking home from dinner travels upward and into the apartment. As light sleepers, we needed to use our earplugs and a white noise app on our phone. But that solved the issue and we never even brought it up to our host because it really is par for the course in a neighborhood of charming historic buildings. We would rather enjoy the character and charm of this flat and this neighborhood than any sterile and silent modern accommodation. But I think it’s worth sharing here so visitors have the right expectation.
