This was convenient for my family since we had a car and wanted to stay out of the Zona. The neighborhood is lively and somewhat gritty. The apartment is tired and we did not have hot water. But it still was very clean and host communication was great. The outdoor space with view of Duomo was not usable due to being directly in the heat of the sun and very tiny. That was part of what drew me in. All told I think it was ok for the price except the lack of hot water.
