Maria Elisa's place is stunning. She met us for check-in (always a good sign) and you could tell she was proud of it. She was very informative with recommendations for groceries, shopping, dining, and transportation. The pictures do not do her place justice. It is beautiful with high ceilings, great woodwork, tasteful decorations, a beautiful view of the Duomo from the terrace, and a well provisioned kitchen. The only knocks from my perspective were thin pillows (I personally prefer a more substantial pillow) and significant street noise. If you are a light sleeper, bring noise canceling headphones or do not stay here during a major holiday. We were there for New Years. Walkable to attractions, the train station, groceries, and shopping. We will be back.
