The location of this place is excellent. There is a large grocery store a block away and four or five restaurants within a two block walk. We ate at one, Cecco, three times! The Duomo is about a mile and a half, and it is the fun center of the city. It is a little too far to walk, but less than 10 minutes by Taxi. But, use the Tram (aka Street Car or Trolley). It stops right less than a block from the front door, and it is a blast to ride. It drops you off right at the corner of the Duomo piazza. The accommodations were basic and suitable. We had three bedrooms with double beds and two full bathrooms, in addition to the kitchen and dining room. It worked very well for the six of us.
