Duccio met us at the apartment on arrival and showed us around - informing us on how to use the heating, water etc. He had also left phone numbers of taxi companies for us and a list of recommended restaurants. We tried some of the restaurants he recommended and they were all excellent and not far from the apartment. We found the apartment clean and very comfortable. The shower was very good and the beds were very comfortable. The sofa area and the kitchen were also in very good order.

The apartment is in an excellent location and is surrounded by plenty of restaurant choices. You can see the top of the Duomo as soon as you walk out of the building that the apartment is in. There is also a supermarket very nearby and a bar next door.

The only negative points would be the street noise from outside. Passers by do tend to make noise all throughout the night and also some noise from the neighbour could be heard and it continued throughout the night. Ear plugs are recommended. Also be aware that the apartment is up rather a lot of stairs so be careful on how much luggage you take. Duccio was kind enough to carry my bag up the stairs for me.

If you are looking for a clean and comfortable apartment in a good location then this is the one. We also felt very safe in the apartment and the building and area in general.
