Perfect place for experiencing the Palio. Heart of the Girffa Contrada (ie Neighborhood). Historic building close to the Campo and Duomo and other sites in Siena. Large apartment with two bedrooms and a pull out couch which worked perfect for our family of five. Kitchen was equipped with necessities for cooking with supermarkets like Conad close by if you are looking to eat in. Lots of restaurants and bakeries near by for eating out. Couple things to look out for: during Palio season the streets will be loud late into the night but totally worth it to be in the middle of it all... but might be a challenge you are a light sleeper. Not an issue with the appartment... the whole city is celebrating the event. Other thing to plan around if coming in August is the heat. The apartment doesn't have AC as indicated in the description. It's not common in Siena. It does have fans and we found taking showers and making sure to open windows at night too cool the apartment went a long way to keeping us comfortable. (Side note: Towels were soft and water pressure was great). Check in was easy with clear instructions from the owner. One other thing to be aware of which is different from staying at a hotel/North America is that you need to take out your garbage. We didn't find it too difficult as it just meant putting it outside the main building doors on the right day, but just wanted to share for awareness. Over all very happy and greatful for a truly unique experience.
