Allesandro has a truely wonderful place literally fifty yards from the Duomo in the center of the old city. The apartment has two lovely terraces, one of which (on the top floor) offers a gorgeous view of the Duomo that you can enjoy in the cool night air.

The apartment has a few minor issues, such as the air conditioning being inconsistent and the refrigerator door needing to be pulled up a bit to close properly. However, Allesandro assured me that both appliances were already scheduled to be replaced, and they offered no real problems to our stay. Do note the parking situation: You will need to stay at a nearby parking garage since the apartment is in the old city; cars are generally not allowed. There are a few garages around that cost only 20E per day.

Overall, I was very, very impressed with the place and I would recommend it to everyone. The apartment has everything you could need (wifi, AC, washing machine, dishes, silverware, and even some basic supplies like olive oil) and the host, Allesandro, exemplifies the very spirit of Italian hospitality. He spent over an hour with use explaining the best parts of the city, then walked with us to a nearby steak restaurant, talked quietly with the owner who he knew, and got us an amazing dinner with wine at a good discount.

Thank you Allesandro, and I can't wait to visit again!
