The apartment is 8 mins walk away from the nearest metro station and about 15 mins walk to the Duomo! Good location, but the street downstairs can be just a bit noisy sometimes. We didn't have a problem with sleeping through it though! Also, sometimes the hot water can be a bit of an issue but Marco was very responsive and helped rectify the issue quickly. He is also a wonderful host, he helped us with our heavy suitcases up the stairs (1 floor up) and gave us tips on walking to the Duomo. It was a good stay with him and it helped a lot that he was staying right beside the apartment :)
