Brittany's place is in an excellent location about a 8-10 minute walk from the train station. We were positioned close to the tourist attractions as well (small 5-10 minute walk to the Duomo), but not in the deep of it where we had to fight our way around people. There is plenty to do around the apartment and the tips that was left was spot on. The apartment is up a stairway so be prepared if you have heavy luggage. Our host was unable to meet up but arranged for us to meet someone who helped us get checked in. The apartment itself is really nice with modern amenities, but the shower is certainly a one person at a time affair. The stairs in the apartment are very steep which requires careful maneuvering for safety (not recommended if you have kids or elderly) , but the bed was extremely comfortable and inviting after days of running around. The closet was nice and spacious which for us not tripping over luggage bags was great. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and Brittany was extremely kind and helpful.
