Myself and 2 friends were heading out to Trieste to start our cruise and decided to spend a few extra days. Barbara's place is modern (newly renovated), clean, and is a 3 min walk to Trieste's charming waterfront.
There's grocery shopping closeby, an 8 min walk to the cruise ship port, 10 min walk to the heart of Trieste, museums, piazzas, restuarants, etc. If you have heavy luggage you'll have to contend with 5 flights of stairs - its at the top - agh! But this is typical in Italy. Barbara is responsive and helpfful. She even gave us tips on things to do!! Thanks for a great stay Barbara!
