The location is excellent, just a few hundred meters from the Duomo and, because of this, there is a lot of street noise into the wee hours. Bonus - it is across the street from fabulous gelato shop. The apartment is in a very old building which I'd hoped would be charming. It wasn't. The apartment is a studio (which was either not in the listing or I somehow missed it) with a unique but not very serviceable kitchen-in-a-dresser. We had requested two beds and it turns out the second one was a rollaway cot stored behind the door. After we moved some furniture around in the room we were actually able to open it and just squeeze by to get around. The bathroom was decrepit with just a dim bulb over the sink. Maybe that was a good thing since the floor was so dirty it looked like it hadn't been properly washed in years.
