The area in which the apartment is located is a little run down, but is walkable distance to the Duomo and main shopping street. The apartment it self is clean and has ample amenities however it is very dark and not much natural light. We did have a problem with the gas hob, it didn't seem to be turned on prior to our arrival to use, however Marilisa had someone round to fix in 15 minutes. Great host, friendly and helpful! Good value for money. X
