Great base for enjoying Assisi and Umbria
You won’t do better than this place! It has everything you want for a great visit to Assisi. Wonderful apartment. The big plus is the rooftop patio accessed via stairs (not a fire escape, actual metal stairs) from the back balcony with seating for 4 and an umbrella. The views from the front rooms and the patio are astounding. You have a great view over the valley, and of the Basilica of Santa Chiara, and of the bell tower of Santa Maria Maggiore (where Carlo Acutis lies in rest), which is a block away. The building backs onto an alley with a small boutique hotel at one end (barely noticeable) and across from the back of the police station, which makes it very quiet (and safe). It fronts onto a small, one-way street typical of Assisi. A little traffic in the morning “rush hour” around 7-8 AM, but not a bother. You are maybe 50 m from a little cafe, and less than 500 m from some very good restaurants, about 500 m to Santa Chiara. Santa Maria chimes every 1/4 hour from 8AM - 9 PM, but it is not obtrusive, and actually was quite charming. The hosts are helpful and responsive. The place is part of a network of rentals called “Skappo in Umbria” (escape to Umbria), who will contact you after you book it to get your details and send you the rental agreement. For those traveling from the US, they will ask for a copy of the picture page and the last page (with the number) of your passport. This is required by Italian law, so don’t be skeeved. You will love it here.
