Our host's assistant Luca showed us all around the apartment, and spoke English very well. The apartment was immaculate, and the private patio was absolutely fantastic. The view was unparalleled (the photos don’t do it justice) and I can’t describe how wonderful it was to sit out on our private terrace every night with a bottle of wine and enjoy the cool night air and look at the duomo, all lit up. The neighbors did decide to play some loud dance music one night, but otherwise it was very quiet and peaceful. I would strongly recommend this apartment.
