As other reviewers have mentioned, the outstanding feature of this apartment is its view (out the front and the back windows!) and location. The stairs are no joke! If you have health issues such as a heart condition, bad hips or knees, this probably isn't the apartment for you. On the plus side, it's close to all tourist attractions, lots of restaurants (a fantastic sandwich place right next door-I Fratellini), and being on the top floor means you don't hear your neighbors. We heard very little street noise except for one night, and that dissipated by 11PM or so. The internet was also adequate to look up information and stream netflix at night. You will hear the bells of the Duomo at 7AM every morning, but we are a family of early risers, so it didn't bother us. The space was perfect for our family of four. Our two sons shared one bedroom with twin beds and my husband and I were in the other bedroom with a queen-sized (ish) bed. Doors can be closed on both bedrooms. Be sure to bring or buy any amenities you might need--TP, paper towels, dish soap, soap and shampoo for the shower, and washing machine detergent. There is a small grocery store nearby (2 minute walk) where all of these items can be purchased. I found the washing machine pretty easy to use, but there is no dryer, so you will have to hang clothes to dry. Overall, it's a fantastic space for a family of four. Loved the way it is decorated and how much light it gets. We were very happy to return there for lunch some days and for the occasional afternoon break before dinner. We would definitely stay there again if given the opportunity.
