The apartment is a great location in a square and 5 minute walk to the Duomo/Santa Monica Novella Cathedral. You feel like you are away from the tourists, but still have great food and drink options nearby. This apartment is on the 4th floor which means 3 levels of heavy stairs. For the elder or handicap, this would not work. For most people, it would be fine. Our group of 4 loved the living room with couches to lounge at night. Upstairs bathroom is good for laundry and toilet use, but shower is in small quarters. We used the downstairs shower instead. I would recommend this apartment to anyone, but like anything else, it has its quirks like the stairs and upstairs shower. Communication was great and check-in was right on time. Check-out was simple and easy. I would definitely stay here again!
