First of all it is important to say that Padova is a great place to visit. Not only is it a beautiful city with many interesting things to see but it is also a convemient centre for visiting other places including Verona, Mantova, Venice and Ferrara, all of which are a only short train ride away. Elisabetta's apartment is a 10 to 15 minute walk from the station, but also a very short tram ride, and the same tram will take you from virtually outside the door into the historic town centre. Elisabetta was very welcoming and prove to be a kind, thoughtful and generous host. The room was clean and comfortable, there was a choice of sweet or savoury breakfast dishes, and much of the food provided was home-cooked. All in all a great experience and one I would highly recommend to others
