I stayed in the apartment for a full year and it was a fantastic experience. The apartment itself is beautiful with everything you could need in a perfect location. It’s minutes from the station and the Duomo, and just a few blocks from the Academia, but it’s still a fairly residential area. I have never had such a responsive host, who always responded quickly to any questions or maintenance concerns that arose over the course of the year. Picking this apartment was probably the best choice I made for my time abroad.
