The location of this studio apartment couldn't be more central. I was traveling solo and felt very safe walking even at night. Very easy to find from the train station. It is a 17 minute walk or a 9 Euro cab ride. There is no lift, so be prepared to bring your bags up many flights of stairs. As other reviewers have said, it can be a bit loud in the evenings and early morning, but quite normal for a historical center. There is no real "view" from the apartment, but honestly you will hardly be there. You will be out and about eating and drinking and exploring. Get tortellini in brodo - it is MAGIC.
