the apartment was perfect for our stay...large, clean and in a great location. seriously beautiful views from the bedrooms of the duomo. the full kitchen (stocked with cookware and plates) was a real plus. although right in city central, the doors and windows are dual pained to help curb some of the evening and early morning noise. my only caution is for those who don't like stairs. the apartment is on the top floor and about 80 stairs up. for us, it was a nice challenge and a way to work off the afternoon gelato...but it isn't for everyone. Samuel was available to help carry our luggage up to the flat which was a great help! He also was easily reached for any issues that would arise. The apartment is also equipped with hi speed internet which was a huge plus. overall i would highly recommend this apartment and samuel as a landlord. everything promised in the ad was delivered.
