The location of this place could not have been better - right on the Duomo plaza. It was always busy, the people watching was great and there were buskers playing most of the day so there was a constant sound track. Everthing is walkable. It wasn't just beautiful and playful, the apartment was also comfortable and convenient with excellent amenities. Bonus - it's right over an "American style" coffee shop for those times when you just want more than 3 sips of espresso.
