Alessandro and Azadeh could not have been more helpful hosts to a couple of 1st time visitors. I had many questions before the trip even began and they were always very quick to respond with perfecrly helpful information. The apartmwnt was in a great location with a curt balcony overlookimg the dome of the Duomo itself. We sat outside and heard the church bells resonating theough the city and though we were only there for a short time, it was perfect. You are right up the street 1 direction to the Duomo and the other to the Academia with David. Perfect! Alessandro provided a map and plenty of personal recommendations rhat made the most out of our stay. We would definitely stay there again!
