Host was more than accommodating with an early check in. We stayed two nights, and the apartment was great. Excellent location, right near the Duomo, and 10 minute walk to the train station. The building is beautiful, and the apartment is on the interior of the building off of the street, with a courtyard down below. Only problem was the noise echoing from the workers down below in the courtyard, which might have been a random occurrence. The bells from the Duomo bell tower sound beautiful, and are definitely loud. If you wake up around 7am, it's a moot point. I would definitely recommend staying here.
