My three roommates and I are settling in to our cozy two-bedroom apartment. The decor is cheery, the natural sunlight is abundant and the location is perfect — minutes from the Duomo, around the corner from a local market and within walking distance of the best gelato in Italy. I love that this place already feels like home, even if the appliances are a little confusing (read: never use the washing machine and oven at the same time).
