Grandma Jenny Apartment: apartment with garden in the center of Perugia

A great place for our 6-day winter visit to Perugia. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is close to the escalators that connect to the centre of the old city, which made it easy to explore. Andrea was a great host who communicated well.

We had a great stay at grandma Jenny’s apartment. It was the perfect proximity to the city center. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to visit again soon!

We had a wonderful time at this property. Everything was as described and the apartment was clean and comfortable and well stocked with basic amenities. It was located near to the centre of town and the bus station which made getting around quite easy. Andrea was very helpful and responsive when we needed his advice and even offered to drive us to the airport when it looked as if our taxi wasn't going to turn up. Perugia is a lovely city and we hope to come again and stay in Andrea's apartment. Thank you Andrea

Great Location. Close to escalators that take you to the old Town. The Apartment was well stocked and comfortable. Lots of extras....breakfast, reading material. Andrea was an accomodating host. We enjoyed our stay.

Andrea and Miriana were always available when needed and were so attentive. Andrea even printed documents that we needed. The apartment was more completely fitted out than any we have stayed in: breakfast food, oil, vinegar, salt, milk, dishes, pots, pans, dish soap, clothes washing soap, shampoo, body wash, very comfortable beds, even pull-out couch, hot shower, washing machine, plenty of dishes, ease of entry, efficient heating system, plenty of linens, large fridge, very quiet for being on a main street. Location was very good. It would have been helpful to have a work space such as a small table in the bedroom and more food prep space in the kitchen. Also, it would have been useful to be instructed as to which windows needs to be opened 4 times a day to enhance circulation. However, this was the most pleasant stay in Italy we've had thus far and and we've had some good ones. This was our 4th trip. Thanks to Andrea and Miriana for making Jenny Apartment available to us.

Andrea kindly picked us up at the train station and drove to the apt. He also kindly supplied us for suggestions of attractions to visit when we were stuck in Perugia due to a train strike. plus breakfast materials were waiting on our first day and he arranged a taxi back to the station.We had a few technical issues with door keys and the laundry machine that he immediately addressed. I can't say enough about the owner who was interested in having his clients be satisfied. The apartment was as advertised, quiet and comfortable. However the lighting, as many European apts we have rented, was quite dim and the bathroom was so filled with equipment it was a tight squeeze. The shower floor needs to be squeezed after each use as it is poorly sloped towards the drain. Its about a 10 minute uphill walk to the supermarket. Perugia's tourist section seems devoid of normal stores, only those catering to tourists exist in the old town, plus the directions and locations of the escalators and mini metro are a big secret as signs are minimal, it took 4 days of constant use to figure them out while we helped lost Italian tourists find them too! I tell you this as the apt is about halfway up the hill from the train station, so you will be using the public escalators a lot on your visit to get to the top of the hill & the old town. Luckily one is about a 5 minute up hill walk from the apt., as is the Bus station from which we took a bus to Assisi .Overall the apt is best for a couple. It will help if your are in good physical condition as Perugia demands this from your legs.

It was Great very clean well looked after near the city easy to get around from the apartment was great

We had a delightful 3 night stay here in May. Our host Andrea met us at the door, and gave us a warm welcome. He helped us with a lot of useful information, including the correct train station to use to get here. (Perugia Fontivegge) Trenitalia lists this station as “Perugia”. (Along with 5 other Perugia stops) Andrea also recommended L’Officina restaurant to us for dinner, and we had a great dinner there! The apartment is compact, but perfectly laid out for a couple. It has a complete kitchen and a comfortable living room and dining area. All appliances are new and in excellent condition. The bed is very comfortable, and it’s in a quiet location so we slept well. The bathroom was very nice, and the shower worked well. This is a “garden” apartment, but since the building is on a hill it has a lovely view out the back, and from the bedroom. It’s just a few minutes walk from this apartment to the Perugia Old City which is easily accessible thru a set of escalators. Perugia is wonderful place to explore with a rich history. We loved this apartment, and only wished we had plan to stay longer in it. We hope to come back some day. Thank you Andrea!

“Grandma Jenny” is a good place to stay when visiting Perugia—if location is everything, this fits the bill. It’s close to the main bus terminal so getting from the train station is easy. It’s also close to the old center and the escalators make it easy to get way up there. It’s very clean, the queen bed is comfy, good pillows, and the views (from all windows) are open and lovely. Your host, Andrea, lives 2 flights up, but has obvious affection for this apartment. He will greet you and show all the particulars. There is a washer, good heating system, nice shower, all windows will open, and it’s a very safe building. We shopped and prepared several meals in. The kitchen was very adequate. We would definitely stay at Grandma Jenny’s again.

The apartment is absolutely ideal for visiting this beautiful city. Andrea is a great host and the apartment was extremely well fitted out. All the amenities were working perfectly with not one hitch to report back. We certainly recommend this apartment estate for a first time visitor as it’s extremely close to all the transportation and the historic centre. We were extremely pleased with our experience..
