The apartment is very well situated, within close walking distance to the centre (5-10 mins to Piazza Maggiore), but nicely away from the main tourist areas. There are plenty of excellent restaurants close by, and a superb little bakery just around the corner. There is also a small supermarket to get all the basics a couple of doors down. The road outside can be a little noisy with the windows open, but you get used to it.

The apartment is as described, with a generously sized bedroom (with a ceiling fan, which was a life saver in the hot weather), a nicely sized living room for relaxing in, and a well-equipped kitchen. The shower was very good and the bathroom overall very clean (as was the rest of the apartment).
