Everything about this about was perfect for our 9 day stay. We were greeted by Alessandro in front of the apartment, where he showed us how everything worked in the apartment. (there was also a detailed booklet about the area, recommendations, and important information, which I appreciated) There was a bottle of wine and cookies left on our arrival. The apartment is on the 4th floor and the elevator goes to the 3rd floor. The last flight of stairs wasn't hard to manage, even my 71 year old mother was fine! The apartment has amazing heat, a double bed and a pull out couch that was really comfortable. The kitchen was fully stocked of plates, utensils, coffee, sugar, etc. There was also extra towels, shampoo, body wash in the bathroom. There are 2 (!) balconies with tables and chairs. The one terrace faces the most stunning views of the Duomo that you will ever see. You'll find yourself taking a million pictures because it's that gorgeous. Location was absolutely perfect! There is a small grocery store directly across the street, a COVID testing center at a pharmacy was a 4 minute walk, the train station was a straight 10 minute walk, and the church is a 2-3 minute walk. Everything is an easy walk! (again, I traveled with my 71 year old mother and it was never an issue.
Alessandro and Annalisa checked in mid-way through our stay to make sure everything was going ok and they even called me a taxi early in the morning for my return flight. Oh! And I accidentally left a Christmas ornament when I left and Alessandro was SO nice and let me know so he could send it to me. Talk about a great host!! Thank you both so much for a great stay and Buon Natale! :)
