We absolutely loved our stay at Marco and Sabine’s apartment.
We had a little problem figuring out how to get from the train to the bus, which is located across from the train station in a shopping mall and a couple of floors down. Once we finally made our way to downtown Siena (after getting on the wrong bus, headed in the wrong direction, and eventually found our way back to town! ), we found our way easily to their apartment from the bus stop.
We had quite a bit of luggage, but made our way fairly easily (there’s a bit of a steep down grade to the apartment, but we made it find). The location was fantastic and easy to find from the bus stop. The apartment has an elevator, which was very handy because of our luggage.
We were let into the apartment by Marco’s father (because we arrived much later than we told Marco we would). He doesn’t speak English, but we had no problem understanding the basics of the apartment and we had all we needed. Marco and Sabine had a very nice welcome tray of snacks and beverages upon our arrival, water and juice in the fridge, and an assortment of tea, coffee, and biscuit bread and jam for breakfast.
They have thought of just about everything - slippers, wonderful toiletries, blow dryer, travel guides, brochures, and one of the most detailed and user friendly apartment guidebooks we’ve seen. They really have gone out of their way to make your stay in their home a comfortable and inviting one.
The apartment is beautiful and large by European standards. The bathroom is particularly large and very nicely updated with gorgeous tile (the floor tile is stunning!). The kitchen is fully equipped, there is a nice sized dining table, and a cozy couch.
The bed is quite comfortable and the linens were ciean and quality.
The location is very central to many highlights of Siena and is close to restaurants and shops. The neighborhood is quiet and all of Siena is quaint and lovely.
You can’t go wrong with this rental for your stay in Siena!
