We (2 senior ladies who like to travel together) stayed at a wonderful apartment in Padova. Mario, our host was wonderful. He provided maps of the city and recommended places to visit. The apartment was comfortable, clean, with all the amenities you needed. It featured some very interesting artwork. It was centrally located within walking distance from restaurants, caffe shops, grocery stores, and cultural/historic sites. When we were ready to leave (our last day in Italy), Mario graciously arranged for a private taxi to pick us up and take us to the Marco Polo Airport. We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment and Padova.
