It is a beautiful apartment and we absolutely loved our stay here. The hot water is a little intermittent but everything else is perfect. Bedroom was very spacious which was very much appreciated with our big cases! We would definitely recommend backpacks over suitcases, there are about 60 stairs to climb to the apartment which is manageable but certainly easier with a backpack. It is a little further out of the main area but it is about a 20 minute walk to Duomo and easy to catch a bus also, taxis from the centre of town are approx 10-15 euro.
