Just came back from few great days spent at Maria's place. The apartment is as advertised, located in a very popular restaurants and bars area. The apartment is very quaint and clean, equipped with all the necessary amenities for a travel stay. There are 2 things that some travelers might have an issue with: 2-floors of stairs and some street noise late at night. It didn't bother us since we are active and capable to carry some heavy suitcases on stairs, and also most of the time we were out on the street late anyway. Other than that, the gate to the building is a riot!!! Walking distance to the Duomo is about 20-25 min, to the metro station about 10-12 min. The metro takes you pretty much everywhere, if you are comfortable using it. Communication with host was very good and we would definitely consider staying there again.
