Barbara's place had ample space for my wife and I. The bed is a pull out from a sofa. It was surprisingly comfortable. There is a full kitchen and nice Windows and even a skylight that opens. The bathroom was clean, but narrow. We are slim, so it was not a problem for us. It is true that you have to climb up several flights of stairs to enter the flat, but so long as you don't have an extravagant amount of luggage, it is not a great problem. The location is a short walk to the Duomo. The city is small, so you can really walk everywhere so long as you have the stamina. It is a 5 minute walk to the main train station. We stayed on a Friday night through Monday morning, and surprisingly, the noise level was loud all 3 nights! I knew this in advance thanks to the other reviews, so I wasn't perturbed. The ostraterria across the street tends to attract loud loiterers from 10pm - 1am and you can still hear them even with the windows shut. Barbara provided ear plugs and as soon as I put them on, I heard nothing at all and slept well throughout the stay. Thanks Barbara for a pleasant stay, and for an easy check in and check out process.
