Wonderfully Close to the Duomo
This is a lovely, tiny apartment only a block from the Duomo/ Piazza and across the street from a lovely historic church. Easy to get from the apartment to the main part of Siena. However, you will need to take a taxi both ways from the train/bus station to get to the apartment as it is a bit of a distance. We spent 15E each way. The city is a maze of tiny tiny streets and it was amazing but the taxi drivers knew exactly where they were going! The apartment is colorfully decorated in orange and we didnt get the significance until there was a procession thru the neighborhood of the local drum and flag corps practicing for the Palio, we surmised, as they came thru and into the church across the street, presumably for a blessing. It was fun to watch them- all decked out in their medieval colors and costumes, green and orange. A few hours later another group came - this time in blue and white and did the same. The apartment is very comfortable and the host very approachable and helpful. Our only negative was that the bathroom was only accessible by walking up another flight of 9 steps and very tightly put together. Hard to turn around in it, but very functional and modern. We did not realize the apartment was 3 flights up either. Not surprising as the buildings are so old, but a bit of a challenge for us in our 70s. Lovely place to stay all in all.
