We really enjoyed our stay at Irene's place. The location is great for walking to all the sites. It's just down the street from the Duomo. The guide Irene left was also nice for helping us pick our places to eat. It was starting to get cold outside, but the heating worked well and the apartment was nice and warm. The bed was comfy, and showers were nice. The kitchen is well stocked and there is a washer/dryer combination to do laundry. The only downside was the noise at night. As other reviews mentioned you can hear everything on the street, including those partying late at night. I brought earplugs after reading the other reviews and they were definitely needed. But, for me the great location was worth it!
