The apartment is as described and is conveniently located three metro stops from the Duomo. The apartment is up four flights of steps (no elevator). I had perfect weather so I didn't have to worry about the lack of air conditioning nor did I use the small fan or electric space heater. There is only a small window and another in the bathroom neither with screens so leaving them open did invite one mosquito. The apartment has amenities you don't get in a hotel room but everything is very basic. The bed is what I call a trumble bed where you pull out a bottom section to sleep a second person, but as I travel alone, I didn't use this. Please understand that I choose to travel for longer periods with cheaper accomodations in exchange for an extended travel period. The apartment gave me the cost point I needed. The host, Simone, was very helpful in communications and meeting me at the apartment when I arrived. He gave tips on where to eat and things to see. There were plenty of nearby restaurants.
