If we could give more than five stars for this apartment, we would. We especially appreciated the spacious feel, comfortable furniture and bed, and beautiful design and décor. We stayed here for one month Dec-Jan, and we felt that we could live there permanently – Elena and Oliver had thought of everything. We particularly enjoyed reading in the soft chairs and eating meals at the kitchen table, and loved the feel of a sixteenth-century building with modern amenities. We cooked frequently, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The appliances worked well, and the drying rack for the clothing held a large amount of laundry and dried quickly. We appreciated that the bedroom and bathroom cabinets and drawers were empty, so there was plenty of space to store belongings.
The apartment location was perfect – on a small and quiet side street, but right in the heart of the historical center. It was a delight to be immersed in history just stepping out the door. We were just steps from numerous restaurants, shops, a church, etc, and yet the apartment itself was so quiet and peaceful.
Elena and Oliver were excellent hosts. They were always attentive and responsive. There was particularly cold weather while we were there, and as soon as we asked for an extra blanket, Oliver had one delivered to the apartment. They reserved a taxi to the airport for us upon our departure, and they left us a lovely assortment of mini cream puffs from one of our favorite pasticcerias as a parting gift.
We would not hesitate to stay here again, if given the opportunity. Grazie mille, Elena e Oliver!
