This little gem of a vacation rental in an old, quiet, residential building made hauling our bags up several flights of stairs absolutely worth the effort. The high, dark-beamed ceilings & French doors make for a light-filled open space, & the view is lovely. The apartment was comfortable, clean, & tastefully decorated. The location was perfect. A 15-20 minute walk took us to the center of Siena along a traffic-restricted road lined with interesting & enticing small businesses & tiny sidewalk cafes. We made a point of sampling gelato all over Siena & concluded that the little shop nearest to our apartment was the hands-down winner!
Our host, Nicola, was highly responsive, fluent in English, & took the time to orient us to Siena & to share some of its history. He also considerately left us a nice treat - a meat & cheese platter, fresh bread, & a bottle of red wine, all of which we enjoyed & very much appreciated.
A great host, a sweet little apartment, & a good location made for a very enjoyable stay. Thank you so much, Nicola!
