It would be impossible to find a more beautiful apt in a more ideal location. We were welcomed with the warm hospitality of Ciro and his family (including wine and free drink tickets for his friend's cafe). This is a very large apt, with plenty of room to spread out. And the views are amazing. My wife and I (we were on our honeymoon) spent time just standing at the window, staring at the Duomo. Given that this place is right near the Duomo, there does tend to be the sound of voices and crowds at night, but nothing that stopped us from sleeping. Also, given the size of the place, it can be a little drafty at night. But again, nothing that was too bad. We loved this place. It was so inspiring to wake up to views of Brunelleschi's dome in the morning sun. This place is great value for the money.
