We selected Simone's apartment primarily for it's proximity to the train station, the fact that it had a/c and was only one flight up stairs, and it had good prior reviews. However, we were overjoyed at how beautiful and updated the apt was. We stayed in several hotels, apts and AirBnBs during our 2 week visit to Italy and by far this was the best and most memorable one. The fact that he provides quite a few amenities: a complimentary bottle of prosecco as well as some breakfast items including coffee was a big bonus! Clothes detergent and shampoos. The entire place looked like it had recently been renovated from Ikea, but there are still some antique items in the house such as the chandeliers that are gorgeous. The windows were spotless and beautiful! The front street was just a little noisy at night, but every place in Italy is that way, and since there is a/c, you can close the windows. Our group of 6 felt very comfortable, even though the kitchen only seats 4, we managed. The only thing I found lacking was a frying pan. We were thrilled with the apt and for the total package, the price is right! Simone was communicative about the check-in time and was waiting for us when we arrived to go through the check in and was thorough but quick (which you don't realize until you've had the 1 hour long check in process at other places). You will not go wrong with booking this place.
