The apartment is very large, attractive and well finished, and has a high end feel. The apartment is comfortable. Three windows, 2 in the living room and one in the master bedroom have direct views over the famous Siena Campo, directly onto the Palazzo Publico and the Torre Mangia. This is an iconic and incredible view. The kitchen is well furnished, although not outstandingly so. The oven had recently broken down, and after we complained, it was replaced within a day. The apartment is furnished as an art gallery with primarily contemporary art, all for sale, that creates an interesting ambience. The art is a hodge podge, mostly mediocre, and it should be left to each individual to decide whether they like the overall effect or not. Every vacation rental apartment has problems, and this on is not exception. The lighting in the living room is inadequate. There is actually no place within the apartment where one can sit comfortably in the evening and read a book. In the very large entrance hallway there is no coat closet or anywhere to hang a coat. The walk-in shower in the second bathroom has inadequate water pressure. The pressure is not just very low, but it is insufficient to keep the water heater running, so the water cycles between hot and very cold. The shower in the bathtub in the main bathroom works well, but the sides of the tub are quite high. Not a complaint, but just a fact; The building is located on a steep pedestrian ramp. Maneuvering luggage into and out of the building can be difficult. Overall, I don't want to lose sight of the fact that this is a wonderful apartment, and we would be happy to return.
