Dear Giada,
Thank you so much for hosting us in your apartment. We appreciated that we could drop off our luggage earlier and the friendly welcome by the concierge. The location close to the Duomo (but also all other tourist attractions all withing 15 to 20 mins walking distance), the pleasant terrace and the special touch with your plants and tea (pot) collection was something we enjoyed very much. The area was silent at night and there were good matrasses so we had a good night rest. As for cooking, I would not recommend this-the kitchen is a bit basic for real cooking-but we didn't mind as we went 100% for the Italian lifestyle and have been taking all our meals outside of the house :-) Excellent bakeries, cafes and small grocery stores all withing 300-500 metres walking distance. As tea and book lovers we also loved all your books and tea collectibles:-) we would have loved to read the origin of all of them as it seems you have a collection from all over the world:-).
