The apartment is about a 10-15 minute walk from the train station and we met one of Katia's assistants, Stella, right out front. She was very nice and showed us all around. The place is in a great location, is within walking distance to everything, and has a wonderful view of the Duomo from the balcony (as seen in the pictures). The place does look a little dated and does not get very much natural light. We always ate out so I cannot comment on anything about the kitchen as other reviews have. Also, we must have flipped the switch to the boiler off as we did not have any hot water for half of our stay. Not a big deal because we only stayed two days but just something to be aware of before flipping switches in the kitchen. I emailed Katia's assistant, Cristina, about it and she told us how to fix it. Overall it was a good place but I may only recommend it if the daily rates were lowered a bit or if the amenities were updated.
