My wife and I spent a month here using it as our base of operations for traveling to other points. It was just about perfect.
What a great place in a great place!
First off, the location is awesome - right next to the Mercato Centrale, with great produce/meats/restaurants and . . . Your choice of restaurants across the street, a wine seller (Vino Divino!) and “hardware” store right around the corner. 5 minutes from the train station, just a few blocks from the Duomo and the major museums. What more could you ask for?
The apartment itself worked very well for the two of us. Comfortable bed, windows or AC for cooling depending on weather, comfy little couch and a basic kitchen that we used a lot - though had to get a little creative at times (no oven or microwave). Plenty of hot water and no issues with the WiFi.
There is also a washing machine, which for a long stay was a real bonus.
Open the windows for sounds of the city, or close them if you want quiet. They do an awesome job of keeping out the noise.
What else? Lorenzo was great (there’s a recurring theme here) and took care of a few minor issues that came up during the month quickly and efficiently. Communication with him was very good using the AirBnB app.
Downsides? Small shower typical of the region, BUT a great tub if you like to soak! 31 stairs up a very narrow staircase - through a very narrow door. Limited but functional kitchen.
If you can deal with that, book it! We loved our home away from home!
