We had a delightful stay at Alain, Irene, Vieri & Elisa’s place. They communicated with us before the trip and provided much helpful information in advance, including advice on transportation and sightseeing. Before we arrived they made reservations for us for two bus tours to the countryside. (with a discount!) Vieri greeted us warmly and provided more helpful information, including restaurant suggestions. The apartment itself has a great location, only one street from the Duomo and very convenient to all the major museums and churches. Even thought it was close to the action, it was very quiet because it is located in a courtyard protected from the street. The apartment was spacious and nicely decorated. The beds were comfortable.
