The apartment is well designed-- the two bedrooms are separated by the length of the apartment, and its 3 stories up (elevator is present) and not facing the piazza so there's no noise. In the back bedroom and kitchen you can open the window and look at the dome of the Duomo, while sipping coffee. Everything was functional and clean. Coffees, teas, condiments, soaps, toilet paper, paper towels-- were all provided. Mario and his wife (Federicos parents) were amazing hosts and very kind. They seemed more like friends or relatives than hosts.
