First of all, Federica herself is lovely. She met us at beside the station and walked us to the apartment, pointing out a few things along the way.
The apartment itself is great, but what it really has going for it is it's location and garden.
We were there at the height of summer, when the streets around the city centre were absolutely packed, but once you're within the garden walls you have your own peaceful little oasis. We loved it here.
