Location is everything with this rental! The view right across the Duomo was amazing and central to everything. Noise was barely an issue. The windows have pretty good soundproofing and bedrooms are located furthest away from Piazza del Duomo. The birds sing in the morning next to the bedroom and church bells are start at 7am. There is an elevator in the building that was helpful but a tight fit. Kitchen was nice to have but we thoroughly enjoyed the local restaurants instead.
