The apartment is beautifully decorated - just as stunning as it is in the photos. Even our teenage son proclaimed, "This is so cool!" Truly an Italian feel! Immaculately clean. The location was fabulous. There is definitely street noise from cars and pedestrians, which I imagine is common in most downtown apartments. Also, the spiral staircase to the bedrooms might be challenging for someone with impaired mobility. We enjoyed staying here. Highly recommend!
