Alessandro's place is comfy, spacious and comes with a lot of the amenities I needed to make myself at home (good kitchen, washing machine, iron) after a few weeks on the move. It's in an exceptional quarter of the city as well, close to some very cool cafes, bars, restaurants (both ones that serve typical Italian fare and comfort food for foreigners), and of course the Cathedral. It can get a little loud but it's easy to block it out from the bedroom--the bedroom window does open up, however, onto the neighbours' terrace, but they're quiet people and I had no trouble getting a good night's sleep.
