We enjoyed our stay in Mariapaola's beautiful apartment. It's nice and cosy, and full of wonderful books and music. And it has two cats, which was a definite plus for my kids! The neighborhood is great - quiet, but very close to the central area. It's only four tram stops to Duomo, or about 15 minutes by foot. Last but not least, Mariapaola was a very thoughtful host, checking on us often to make sure that everything is ok. This was one lucky find!
