The place is fabulous, with a very separate large master bedroom (down a brief hallway, with doors on either end), and easy sleeping in the large room for two or three kids. Kitchen with various food in fridge -- very helpful settling in after a trip.

The neighborhood is alive -- we enjoyed our meal at Trattoria Giovanni (there are other options as well) and took in the scene at the plaza (try Osteria Santo Spirito for drinks) afterward. All just a couple of blocks away.

The major tourist sites are an enjoyable 15-20 minute walk away, and when you return home you'll appreciate the tranquility of this apartment, and the fact numerous restaurants are just two or three blocks away. And the best!!! (according to my teenagers) gelato anywhere at Gelateria La Carraia at the bridge. Mauricio picked us up at the train station, which was very much appreciated! and gave us a good introduction to the apartment and where we were located.
