The apartment is very nice, clean, with everything you need and has a very nice view from the balcony.
The distance from the new centre and old centre is 20 minutes walking and the bus stop is just next to the apartment.
Near are the shops and also very nice restaurants.
The tap water is drinkable and very nice, probably it comes from the nearby mountains.
The city itself is great for romantic walks and if you do/see everything in the city you can go to Milan or on a trip to nearby lake.
Just pack flip-flops with you as the apartment has stone floors which can get quite cold in the colder months :)
