Monica's place is truly in the perfect location. Just 2 or 3 blocks from the Duomo, but located on a side street so some of the noise of the downtown is cancelled out. The room itself has a historic feel, without feeling dated (nice kitchen appliances). There wasn't an AC, but the room stays quite cool all day (we were there in 34 degree weather) and a fan was provided. All in all excellent stay and would recommend.
