The apartment itself is bi-level, with a spacious master bedroom ( large matrimonial bed) on the upper level with a half bath which is set off the street. Downstairs is the living/dining room and kitchen with a table that can be expanded to seat 8. In the living room there is a sofa that folds out into a queen sized bed, that is great for your guests. A full bathroom with jetted tub and shower, bidet and towel warmer is also downstairs. The apartment has all modern appliances, which includes a microwave, clothes washer and clothes dryer. In the apartment there are skylights which gives the apartment tons of light and a sense of spaciousness. The furnishings are handcrafted for the apartment of chestnut wood and the apartment is beautifully appointed. The apartment also boasts of great water pressure thanks to a water pump and cistern behind the stairwell. The apartment is complete with glassware, dishes and cutlery. A full array of pots and pans and cooking utensils are available. There are plentiful linens and towels provided. Water and garbage utilities are included in the rent. Gas and Electricity and unlimited WiFi internet access are paid separately by the tenant. I have put an estimate of the gas, electricity costs in the description however, those figures are just estimates. Actual costs for utilities are dependent upon the tenant and their use. Also, in the colder months, prices for electricity and gas run higher than the estimate. The neighborhood is wonderful in that it is in the historical centre, yet close to the train and bus station. There are electric buses which can take you around the city. A bus stop is right next to the apartment. There are great restaurants and pastry shops and outside seating bars and small cafes along the street and interesting specialty shops. There are grocery stores and convenience stores also close by. The American Consulate is up the street, St. James church is around the corner and there is easy and free access to the Viale without having the hassles and limits of the ZTI to take you to the autostrada. There are loads of parking garages and street parking and lots available if you have a car. For music lovers, there is the Maggio Musicale, a 5 minute walk away and the Casine park is down the street for biking, jogging and swimming. The largest market is held there every Tuesday.
