Andrea’s place is literally a block from the Duomo. It’s just outside the front door. It’s less than a mile from the train station so we were able to walk with our bags straight there which was nice. We also were able to walk a mile or less to all major attractions. His place is super clean and very cute. The linnens were awesome (clean crisp sheets and towels). We had a special request upon arrival and he was very accommodating. We also asked if we would keep our bags there a bit after check out and he was very accommodating then too! The kitchen has the basic utensils for making food (which we did). One huge plus for a wary traveler is the whole apartment has black out wooden shutters so you can sleep with very little outside light. As another reviewer said you are SO close to the bell tower the bells will wake you up at 7am and will go off for nearly a minute, then go off a few more times over the next two hours. They are LOUD even through earplugs. One of the days there was also a construction in the courtyard by the room so it was very hard to sleep in, but neither of those could be controlled by Andrea. We found the mattresses to be very uncomfortable and ended up taking the mattress from the pull out couches and putting them on the beds. It made them much better. So all in all, great place and location, but may be a bit hard to sleep if you are sensitive to mattress comfort and noises. Andrea is a wonderful and accommodating host and did all he could to make our stay wonderful, and it was.
