The location could not be better. You are right in the heart of the city, right next to the Duomo. The elevator was wonderful! and while not large was reliable and felt very safe. On the corner is a great bakery and we were an easy walk to a market that the host recommended. The shower had plenty of hot water. The heat worked well as we were there in winter. The host could not have provided more service. He was absolutely great when we were checking in and checking out and left very useful information in the apartment.
