,CENTRO STORICO, casa signorile 80mq, silenziosa, luminosa,ASCENSORE,INTERNET

piacevolissimo soggiorno. l'appartamento è ubicato in posizione strategica, molto centrale e ben servito da mezzi pubblici di trasporto. la proprietaria, accogliente e discreta, è sempre disponibile a dispensare consigli e suggerimenti utili per allietare la permanenza in città.
appartamento ideale per una coppia: il letto aggiunto nella camera da letto la rende un pò meno confortevole.

We are near the end of our month staying in this lovely apartment and I can only say great things about out time here. First off: Francesca, the owner, lives next door and has been incredibly responsive since my first inquiry email. I was a bit nervous about renting an apartment from an individual located a world away from us (we live in Portland, Oregon, USA). I peppered Francesca with countless questions and she answered promptly and kindly, with the information I needed in order to feel comfortable. Her rates are incredibly fair and fixed - no hidden fees, service charges or additional taxes (we asked to use PayPal, so there was an additional 4% international fee that we paid to ensure she received the full rental amount). Francesca has continued to be incredibly helpful during our stay, lending items we need and offering tips about the city and surrounding areas.

The apartment is very spacious and comfortable for two people. My husband and I are both working here, so we set up our offices at the big dining table in the great room - the wireless works great there (the 16" thick walls prevent it from working so well in the bedroom). The great room has the kitchen along one wall (it is very charming), which has been nice for entertaining the small groups we've had for dinner. The bed is comfortable, and the bedroom very quiet, overlooking the building's inner courtyard. There are high beamed ceilings (I'd say 11 feet) in all of the rooms, which the owner stripped and restored herself. Antiques and collectibles are artistically displayed throughout the apartment, and there is plenty of storage.

I can't say enough about the location - Porta Susa and the metro station (XVIII Dicembre) are about a ten-minute walk away. There we caught the metro for local meetings, and the train to explore nearby cities. There's a bus stop across the street, but it is easy to walk to most places in town, and plenty of shopping and restaurants close by, so we haven't used the bus at all.

If you want a self-catering set up for an independent travel experience (and to not be hemmed in by a small hotel room), this is an ideal place to call home while in Torino. You will get a taste of how the locals live, be able to shop each morning at the nearby open-air market, and explore the cobble-stone streets of the surrounding historic neighborhoods. Oh, and the food here - it is amazing (be prepared to gain weight)! Thank you, Francesca, for an excellent stay.
