Cristiana's place is amazing! Great view and location; it is not far from the Duomo (about a 10 min walk) but also a nice distance from all the tourists area and noise. I really enjoyed listening to music from nearby street performers at night by the river. Cristiana is an amazing host as well. She communicated very well and responded fast prior, during and after our stay; she was the only host that actually checked up on us to see if we were ok in all my Airbnb experience up to date. On the date of arrival, she waited and greeted us by the door even though we arrived later than scheduled. Even though she couldn't spent more than explained and talked to us (as she needed to go pick up her son), all the information needed are provided in a booklet she prepared for the guests, which was a very nice touch. What made her an outstanding and thoughtful host was the incident that happened at her place. My parents broke one of the house's wooden shutter (not on purpose of course, they never saw that type of shutter so they didn't know how to properly operated it.) Cristiana let me know right away and said she and her husband will try to find a way to fix it by themselves if they could; and if they couldn't then they will then try to call someone in to fix it. I was very worried as I didn't know how much it would cost to fix (knowing it is in downtown AND Italy, the cost might be very high compare to the US.) On our last day before leaving for home she texted me and said they were able to fix it by themselves! I really appreciated the fact that she would make the effort to fix it without calling in a repair man and charged us a lot of money. In short, if you can book this place, book it! The apartment is amazing and Cristiana is an amazing host! Highly recommended!
