We had a very pleasant stay in Silvia's place. She welcomed us warmly, the house was very clean and tidy, and the neighborhood calm and stylish. We stayed in the apartment with our 16-month old daughter, which was able to sleep comfortably on the fold-out bed.
There are some very good restaurants nearby, as well as a great ice cream shop (gusto 17) that we visited every day. To get to the city center, you can get tram 14 which takes about 20 minutes to get to duomo.
We recommend staying in Silvia's place!
