Fantastic location near restaurants and shopping. We enjoyed a long weekend and the apartment was perfect. The walk from the Lanza stop was reasonable with all our luggage but easy after checking in. We walked to the Duomo area twice as well. The San Marco plaza across the street had vendor stands selling flowers and artisan goods. There are more than a dozen restaurants within 2-3 blocks. Lots of excitement and crowds on Friday and Saturday night. Great spot!
