Authentic experience with wonderful hostess
We loved this large, central apartment, steps away from Monash University. Illaria was friendly and helpful throughout. The apartment was very special - fully equipped with lovely things because she lived there, and spacious. The rooftop terrace was a bonus - best in morning and noon or in cooler evenings. Lots of space for our things with drawers and hanging space for clothing.
Ilaria went out of her way to help us with our luggage on arrival because only residents can drive to this central location. We parked at Parcheggio Del Serraglio (Il Serraglio train station) which was secure, reasonable and an easy walk, then took a taxi back to it w. our suitcases when we left.
The appliances worked well and once we found the nearby butcher and market open, we bought quality food and made great dinners. But you can always go out and find something reasonable.
The AC was useful, but we also used the shutters to keep it cool. Only drawback is that being so central, there is noise from the outdoor seating in the bars on the street quite late. Be aware of the stairs if you aren't very mobile. We thought they were worth it.
So much to do in Prato or short train rides or drives. Our week in Prato was a highlight of our six weeks in Europe and this apartment one of the best we have ever found thanks to Illaria.
