We use it and sister site Home Away a lot and have never had a bad experience with any of the properties we've rented: London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Austin, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Denver.<br />Before so many rentals came online, we used some service or other (can't remember) to rent a charming stone cottage on an olive farm north of Spoleto. We took day trips all over Umbria. Spoleto has colorful hilly streets, cafes, and a beautiful church.<br />Bonus for me at the farm---momma cat and a littler of kittens that visited us.pam levyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07781702179761769967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-123349259756797212013-04-25T05:22:16.417-07:002013-04-25T05:22:16.417-07:00Thanks, Mary.

We never saw the sun the whole two weeks, but we didn't mind.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-35080589015197784832013-04-24T21:33:37.039-07:002013-04-24T21:33:37.039-07:00Umbria sounds nice.
