This city apartment was perfect for us-exactly as the photos showed. It was very clean and nicely appointed with some special touches. Host Chiara made it very easy with good instructions, easy check-in and excellent recommendations when we asked for them. The terrace was an "out-back" and fairly private place for aperitivo, a bit of fresh air, and fun watching some cats playing in the yard next-door. Keep in mind, this is a city place. There are neighbors above, activity on the street below, teenagers on their way to school in the morning, etc. but it was quiet at night and easy to sleep. None of it bothered us, as we loved the life and liveliness of it all. It's a great location at the edge of the old city; we walked everywhere for 2 weeks, all the time, day and night. It's about 20 minutes walk to the opposite corner of the old city, with tons of museums, shops, eateries, bars and cafés in between. Easy walk to the train station and we did a couple day trips to Cortona and Firenze for variety. (But if you have wheeled luggage, do plan on a taxi to/from the station as the old stone streets and walkways are pretty chunky) Our longer stay did let us get some chats with residents on the street, who kindly indulged my tentative broken Italian. If you are able to walk uphill, half a mile or so straight up the street from the apartment is one of the most beautiful public parks I've ever seen. It was a worthwhile good hike and we went up several times to walk and enjoy the views.
