Apartment is stunning! Balcony looks out on to the castle (the photos don't do it justice!!). Its basic, but has everything you need for a city break! Kitchen and bathroom are slightly dated, but we didn't care because we were never in - they had everything you need though! Everything was spotlessly clean, and very secure!
It's a 2 minute walk to via Dante street which is full of bars and restaurants, and a further 5 minute stroll to the Duomo! Cadorna Train station is less than 5 minutes walk away, and there are 2 red line metro stops both within 5 minutes, meaning getting around is very easy!
Host was very welcoming, and despite the Italian-English language barrier we communicated very well! I'll definitely be back!
