apartment/ flat - 3 rooms - 2/4 persons

This was the nicest apartment we have rented in Europe or the USA in the years we have used HomeAway/VRBO. Roomy, beautifully decorated & well stocked. Near S. Caterina, the apartment was close to the Duomo & the Campo as well as the main shopping /strolling streets. Via Caterina is steep & narrow as are most in Siena. We were there on Halloween so there was some revelry until early morning but generally the road noise was minimal. And again during our month in Italy, the size of the crowds amazes us. Had occasional rain that drove some indoors but most just opened umbrellas and continued. Loved the town - 3 nights not enough. We would love to stay in this apartment upon a return to Siena.

Our visit to Siena was greatly enhanced by this apartment. It was large, airy, and very comfortable. The windows opened widely, and you could view the beautiful streets of Siena. It was full of charm - not the bland, IKEA apartments that are so often available to travelers. This apartment had character, and fit the city in which it was found. Also appreciated having a washing machine at our disposal.

The neighborhood was great - good restaurants around every corner. Oh, make sure you try the house wine everywhere - it's wonderful! Yes, the streets are hilly, but it adds to the character of the city. The apartment is located close to all of the sights you'd like to see - you just have to go up and down to get to them!

Note: if you have luggage, I'd recommend taking a bus or taxi to the house - as the ups and downs seem much exaggerated when you're pulling a suitcase and sporting a backpack!

Finally, the hosts were very accommodating and helpful. They even left some wonderful local cookies for us to try. Highly recommend this apartment and Siena!

A great apartment hosted by a wonderful host!

Highly recommended. We stayed for a week, and felt very comfortable in this homey, spacious, well equipped apt. right next to Santa Caterina's home and church (she is an important saint from the middle ages). Good location between major cathedrals, bus lines, and centro. It was useful to have a desk and washing machine also. The host even left us a box of delicious, locally-made cookies.

Marzia was very welcoming and provided us with a map and details relevant to our stay in Siena. Close to everything but the apartment is at the bottom of two steep hills. We had everything we needed to be comfortable. Use a taxi when arriving as it is some distance from the station.
