Daria & Marco’s place exceeded our expectations. It is exactly as pictured and is located in a great part of town. It’s only about a 10-15 minute walk from the train station, and the walk is flat save for one small bridge, so it’s super easy to get to by train. It’s also only a 15-20 minute walk from the bus station to and from the airport, which is also a relatively easy walk.
Daria met us and showed us a personalized map of key places around the city and some of her favorite restaurants, and she gave us a delicious bottle of bubbly! Very sweet!
The apartment is on the top level (in the US, we’d call it the third floor, but it’s the European second floor). No elevator, but the stairs are very manageable and the neighborhood feels quite safe. There are two water metro stops just outside, which is super convenient.
Things to note so you’re not surprised: careful with the bathtub or it’ll leak. Get Daria to show you how to do it (she’s super responsive and lives downstairs). But there’s a tub (!!) which is very relaxing after a long day. There is a 50 euro cleaning fee that you’ll pay when you arrive, but that’s all laid out for you—just pay attention. The AC works well and there’s even a washer and dishwasher (!)
I highly recommend this place for the location, amenities, and the hospitality! Five stars!
