If you are looking for an excellent location near the Duomo for a group of travelers, this apartment is for you! It's located on a quiet side street very close to a main busier retail street that leads right to the Duomo/city center (5-10 minute walk). There is also a charming restaurant just a few doors away from your front door, which we enjoyed.
We were two families (4 adults, 2 small children) traveling together and the accommodations worked out very well.
Communication with the hosts was excellent. Our international flight arrived late at night and Massimo was able to secure a van in advance to shuttle our entire group from the airport right to the front door. Andrea met us at the location to walk us up to the unit and show us everything. There are two elevators in the building, each able to hold 3 people with luggage. (Otherwise you can take the wide staircase up/down the 3 floors.)
There is a small common area as you enter the apartment with a 4-person sofa. Each family had their own private bedroom and private bathroom with shower (one also has a tub), and plenty of hot water for all. There is also a common kitchen/dining room area with a pull-out sofa (where the kids slept) a small dining table for 4, and a kitchenette area with laundry (washer, no dryer). WiFi access was good.
There is a nice large private terrace area reserved just for this apartment unit as shown in the photos (unfortunately for us the weather was cold and damp, otherwise it would have been a great place to gather and relax).
The only negatives were fairly minor: The bedding/sheets/pillowcases were a little worn with some rips/tears, and upon opening the sofa bed, there were food crumbs everywhere from a previous guest. While it was nice to have a kitchen, unfortunately there were no basic amenities provided (cups, wineglasses, coffeemaker, plates, utensils, paper towels etc.) so we were only able to use the sink and refrigerator. Having just a few of these simple items would have made this kitchen so much more useful during a 3-day stay. Other minor suggestions: more hooks in the bathrooms to hang items would it easier for guests.
Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this apartment for it’s location, layout and size, plus good communication with the hosts. Hope this review helps you. Grazie!
