I had the best stay at Raffaella's place! The apartment is cute and very comfortable with a beautiful rooftop courtyard. It is in a good central area for shopping and for restaurants and is an easy walk to the Duomo and the Duomo subway station. It does get a bit loud on Saturday nighs but the windows are very soundproof, so it is not too bothersome. Raffaella herself was very helpful, accommodating and generous. She made sure my boyfriend and I had everything we needed, including cozy bathrobes and bottles of water. Overall I would highly, highly recommend this place to stay!
