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

The best!
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.

Friendly owner, lives in same building, apartment was fine
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.

A Gem of an Apartment in a Fantastic City
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’s makes visiting Perugia even better!
“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.

Perugia first experience
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..

We loved Grandma Jenny’s apartment! Well appointed with everything you need; felt like a real home; prívate outdoor area with table and chairs. A great location with easy access to the historic city center, and loads of excellent restaurants. Andrea was a superb and gracious host. He made us feel immediately and warmly welcomed.

Great place to stay, really kind hosts
Everything you need for a visit to Perugia. Apartment was very comfortable, Andrea picked us up from the train station and allowed us to drop off our bags early. Coffee, tea and biscuits were in the apartment on arrival, which was brilliant. Hosts had provided a booklet of restaurants, things to do and tips which was really helpful.

Perfect for 2-4, great location for historic Perugia, easy access, excellent hosts.
Within minutes of our arrival, we were eating pizza in historic Perugia. Mariana stocked kitchen with some nice convenient foods such as cereal for the boys and coffee for us. Andrea took us on an incredible tour of church, university and town. Grocery was minutes away by foot as was transportation. Leave the car parked and settle in town. International University brings young adults from all over. Adriatic coast and plenty of small towns within 1.5 hour drive: Deruta, Arrezzo, Gubbio, Urbania. This will be our go-to apartment for the area. Hosts were very available for any questions.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
We stayed at Grandma Jenny Apartment in Perugia for 11 nights. Our host, Andrea, was gracious enough to allow us to come a day early and leave a day late. We enjoyed every minute of our time there. The apartment itself is spacious, fully equipped, and close to everything. We do like to walk and we could get anywhere from the apartment but, if we had wanted to, public transportation was nearby. We used it for day trips to multiple Umbrian hill towns. Andrea and his family were extremely helpful with everything including some Italian coaching during a conversation over tea one day. We were appreciative and anxious to develop our Italian. Past reviews were all excellent. The place more than lived up to expectations. To be specific about the apartment: comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen with all appliances needed, nice bathroom with a washing machine, and a full separate living/dining room. It felt like home quickly and we were sorry to leave. Highly recommend it to all.

Perfect host, perfect apartement, and perfect location!
This was probably our best stay during our tour of several cities in the region. The host, Andrea, was very kind and helpful, and even gave us a ride to and from the train station. The building is located a short walk away from the city centre, and maybe only 2 minutes walk from the main bus station, where we took a bus to Gubbio one day. A supermarket and several restaurants are all nearby. The apartment was very clean, and included all the appliances and things we needed. If you're visiting Perugia, look no further than here for your accommodations. Grazie mille, Andrea!

L'appartement constitue un excellent choix: emplacement privilégié, bonne distribution des pièces, très bien équipé, extrêmement propre et "vivant" au sens où il abrite beaucoup de livres.

L’appartement est très bien situé assez près du centre historique de Perugia. On a été très bien reçu par le propriétaire et son épouse.

Appartamentino carino e accogliente
Un appartamento molto carino e accogliente nel centro di Perugia. L'appartamento è dotato di tutto, addirittura quando siamo arrivati c'erano dei pacchi di biscotti per fare la colazione! Il proprietario molto molto gentile, è stato disponibilissimo! Purtroppo siamo dovuti partire prima perché al bimbo è salita la febbre molto alta, però torneremo di sicuro!

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, zentral gelegen
Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und sehr gut ausgestattet. Sie war sehr sauber und alles im sehr guten Zustand und ist auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt gut geeignet. Die zentrale Lage war für Ausflüge sehr praktisch, so ist der Busbahnhof in wenigen Minuten erreicht. Auch der Weg zum Bahnhof gestaltet sich problemlos. Wir haben uns der Wohnung sehr wohl gefühlt und können diese ohne Einschränkungen weiterempfehlen.

Possibilité de parking pas trop loin dans les rues voisines (demander à Andrea, le propriétaire). Pérouse est une ville magnifique. Le quartier San Pietro, proche de l'appartement est très sympathique et plein de bonnes adresses pour diner. Là encore demander à Andrea. Bref, une excellente adresse.

A lovely second sojourn in Perugia
I first stayed at Grandma Jenny's in 2016. This year my wife joined me, and we came by train after eight fabulous days in Rome. The original plan was to rent a car in Rome and use Perugia as a base for visits to several hill towns. The cold, snowy weather changed that. We didn't even get to Assisi, and I must say Perugia more than made up for that disappointment. Grandma Jenny's location, near the "scala mobile" and the Tre Archi area with its supermarket and very nice restaurants, is perfect. All the many beautiful districts and monuments were in reach, even in wintry weather, from the "Tempio San'Angelo" in the north to "San Pietro" in the south. The town rewards careful, loving attention, and Grandma Jenny is the place we will always stay when we return.

General impression - very good
We stayed for 8 days in apartment Granma Jenny, 30 December - 7 January. We are not very young couple. The apartment is very convenient. First of all its location - close to the Perugia Bus Station (about 4 min. walk) and close to the moving staircase to the historical centre of the city. The house is on a fairly busy street but all the windows of the appertment overlook the opposite side, so the apartment is very quiet. The rooms are rather large. The kitchen is not very large but completely equiped. There is also a private garden but we did not use it due to rainy weather. And the heating system deserves a particular evaluation. The level of heating can be programmed for each hour of the day. TV-set, Wi-Fi - all devices runs without claims. In sum we recommend the Granma Jenny apartment for tourists who want to observe Perugia as well as surrounding landmarks and sightseeings (Gubbio, Assisi etc.)
