Valentina was delightful - so appreciated her meeting us at the airport to make our journey less stressful (there is a fee for this - but well worth it). The location of the apartment is perfect for those who want a more "local" experience rather than touristy. We felt completely safe in the apartment and the area, and enjoyed interacting with the local shopkeepers. Conveniently located near transport - as well as GROM gelato :) We really appreciated her recommendations for restaurants and things to see, and the powerpoint she prepared as suggested day tours.

The apartment was beautifully decorated, well-maintained and appointed, comfortable and modern. Really loved the washroom / shower!

The only drawbacks (for some) would be:

The long flight of stairs may be a bit challenging the less physically fit. Those not used to city life may find the upscale restaurant in the courtyard below a little noisy at night (it is open til after midnight).
The beds were a bit more firm that we were used to, making our sleep less restful than we'd have liked.

But, all in all a fantastic experience - recommended highly!
