The showers both had good water temperature and pressure - in fact the view from the main shower during the day is quite lovely ! :) Due to some medical and health conditions in our family, the steps were somewhat difficult but this was advertised upfront. The views from the loft were simply amazing, the location super convenient, lots of nearby choices to eat and a supermarket within a short walking distance. All main attractions are a walk away; we only used a taxi to get to and from the main train station. In fact, the Duomo is only a stone’s throw which has the benefit of .you being able to see it early in the morning and late at night when it isnt crowded. We called the taxi service recommended at the apartment and the taxi arrived within two minutes. On our way to the apartment however, the taxi driver (said he) could not reach our apartment due to the narrow streets. The house numbers were somewhat confusing for us so if you end up in the same position, walk nearly as far as i Ghibellini restaurant (which was quite nice) or get dropped off at via San Pier Maggiore, 8. While you are expected to remove your own rubbish, this is actually quite simple and the public bins are close by. Australian travellers - there are no face cloths so take your own. I left an item behind and Michela very kindly is posting it to me. Communication was always prompt, we had a kind greeting on our early arrival and were grateful to have a safe place for our luggage before normal check in time. I would love to stay here again
