Martina and Andrea were both very friendly with us. They were very communicative every time we needed - before and even throughout our stay at their studio. They live at the appartment next door but are very respectful concerning the space given to those who they hosted. Actually, you will only know that are people around if you open the windows - because it mutes the sound of the street - or going outside in the common corridor - where, if you're lucky, you can hear a little guitar from their appartment, which is impossible to hear from the studio since it's like a sound-proof one. The location is the best possible, like 5min walk from the Duomo, with tons of markets and restaurants in the neighborhood and you can go to the trainstation easily by foot.
