The location is perfect, extremely close to the duomo. We used this as an easy landmark while exploring the city and could always find our way back. Being so close meant we could easily walk to see the duomo complex at night without very many people around, even in August. The location felt very safe and clean. We walked around past midnight every night and there were still families around. Monica was lovely and gave us suggestions on where to eat and visit, drew on our map for us, and introduced us to apps that could help us enjoy the city. She's great!
