The Pietrapiana apartments were exactly what we needed for our trip. The location is perfectly center without feeling on top of the Duomo bustle. Easy access to all thedining, nightlife, and transportation with many buses nearby. The only drawback with our specific room was that it was overlooking the street rather than the courtyard and with its proximity to Santa Croce and bars/clubs, it could be a little loud at night with the windows open, but it was so quiet and peaceful with the windows closed! Slept wonderfully! Will absolutely by staying again.
