We LOVED this place. If I could give it 6 stars I would. The view of the Duomo from the bedrooms is stunning. Filippo was a superb host taking time to sit down with us and share his knowledge of the town. We loved the location, escaping the mobs of tourists and instead seeing a really lively and interesting part of town. Filippo left us some canned tomatoes and pasta that fueled our final night's dinner - the kitchen is well outfitted and everything worked as expected (which was not the norm at other places we stayed during our trip). When I couldn't converse with the taxi company, Filippo helped us out! There is one bar on the otherwise very silent street - when we return I'll bring some earplugs for the occasional night when the partying spills onto the sidewalk.
