This apartment is absolutely charming, and the location is fabulous - right beside the Duomo! You cannot beat that. We loved the outdoor terrace, from which we could view the Duomo. A small grocery store is just down the lane, while larger stores are just minutes away. In fact, nowhere we wished to visit (i.e. public squares, and some of the most incredible museums in the world) was more than 5-10 minutes away on foot. Even the train station was just about 10 minutes' walk. Shops and restaurant options abound. The lift/elevator was appreciated after long, hot, busy days sightseeing in this spectacular city. We shall miss it.
