This apartment is in a fantastic location -- right in the middle of a great area with tons of restaurants, etc. just a very charming stroll away from the apartment. You can sometimes hear music from the street outside at night, but it was nice live Italian singing from one of the restaurants, so most people would probably see it as a plus or at least not as a drawback. The apartment is pretty small and you can't stand in the upstairs bed loft area, but it is all manageable and exactly as photographed. We loved staying here and would recommend it to friends. Charming, with an outstanding location.
