Irene's place was super-convenient and super clean. It was steps away from the main Cathedral and all the lovely Piaza-s. And inside the apartment was sparking clean - with tastefully arranged furniture and decorations. The best part of the room for me was the big window and the balcony - that opened to the quiet inner courtyard of the building below, and the grand mountain vistas above. I never met Irene - but all my communications with her were extremely timely and helpful. Since I did not have data plan on my mobile, she went out of the way to leave her own phone with data with me - so that I would have access to wi-fi. I was really touched by that expression of trust and kindness. I was attending a conference in Bolzano - and was taking the train every morning to go up there. Irene's home is a 5 minute walk from the station. And because her apartment was at the back-section of the house - it was very quiet, in spite of being on a main street. I would definitely stay in Irene's place again.
