Yes your own increadable, huge private terrace is the reason to get this apartment! The view is fantastic and feels surreal, at night, when the Duomo is illuminate. We stayed for 4 weeks, which was a little long for a one room place (no separate living area) but that was our call. Everything was as advertised. Two people is definitely the maximum for the place. I cooked breakfasts and some dinners in the tiny kitchen area-- so it worked alright. The shower was small but we worked out the kinks in a day or two. You are close to everything (1-10 min walking). This place is a converted hotel so, it looks like, the bathroom was made a little smaller to allow for the kitchen area. Luca was available by email to answer any questions and resolve any issues. The washer and line drying worked out well. I think the place is a good value.
