It was a cute little room in the midst of a giant apartment. It's top floor though and there's no elevator, for those of you who are carrying luggage. I was fortunate because Gianni helped me up by carrying it all 4 flours. The location of the house itself is a big out of the way, about 10 minutes by foot from the train station. But the area itself is cute and pretty busy, so it will satisfy your tourist eyes. Plenty of shops to do shopping in, museums, restaurants- everything is within walking distance.
Gianni gave me a map and recommended places to go to :) Beware of tuesdays! Heaps of museums are closed on tuesdays.
Watch out for the bell tower next to the place though. It goes off at 8:30 in the morning and it's SUPER loud so you won't get to sleep if that's what you were hoping for.
