The apartment is so close to all the most interesting sites - about 20 min walk to everything! Everything you could need is very close - caffe, restaurants, farmacia, minimarts, etc. The neighborhood is very safe, we never once had a concern and for such a busy area, it was very quiet due to being on the 4th floor. The sunrise was great coming past the 2 churches nearby. Riccardo provided dishes and a little espresso pot so we could start our day on the balcony with coffee. I do however not recommend this location for very small children (balcony railing is low) or if you have difficulty climbing stairs. There are 4 flights of varying tread heights. A large, heavy piece of luggage would be inadvisable as well, as there are no elevators. The photos are accurate, it is a very old apartment but very clean.
