The host's mother greeted us at the door when we arrived and was very friendly and helpful, showing us around the apartment and offering lots of useful tips. She also sent an email mid way through our trip to check everything was ok.

The apartment was just what we had expected: modern, spacious and clean. Location could not be any better - 5 minutes walk from The Duomo but on a quiet street with no noise at night.
There are 2 aircon units which provided a nice cool apartment (during August!) and a nice terrace. Washing machine also came in useful!

There are quite a lot of steep stairs to go up to reach the apartment so bear that in mind if you have a lot of heavy luggage with you, but otherwise it's great all round.
