We loved everything about this apartment, the location, the security, the quiet neighborhood, the facilities (the well-equipped kitchen, the WONDERFUL shower, the comfortable bed), but most of all the host, one of the sweetest, most caring, hospitable, helpful, and fun people we've ever met. She clearly enjoyed hosting us, showing us how everything works, where everything is located, and making recommendations to make this the best of all places we've stayed in Europe during our 6-week trip. The host is an absolutely wonderful communicator having contacted us months before our visit about reserving early for popular tours and sites, and sending recommendations for dining, for the BEST gelato (award winning), supermarket with everything, bars, best shopping sites for whatever you're looking for, and even where to shop for some inexpensive replacement luggage when one of our wheels broke and made the suitcase useless. The well equipped and well stocked apartment met all our needs and made us feel at home. We could not have been happier we chose to stay here... away from the hoards of tourists, but close enough to see everything we wanted.
