Fantastic location. Two minute walk to the Duomo. Shops of all sorts and restaurants of all ranges just outside the door. The apartment itself makes a great first impression. Lots of indirect lighting with lamps and wall sconces, and stylish objets d'arte and wall hangings. But the bathroom and kitchen are a bit dated. Not quite the luxe finishings that would be the cherry on top of the cake. Everything worked, though. Does the location make up for the lack of a modern kitchen and bathroom? YES.
