I loved this lady and her apartment!! She was so welcoming to my 20 yr old son and I and I instantly felt like friends! What a great location! It was not only very close to the duomo but everything. Several restaurants and a fresh fruit/vegetable stand within 5 minutes. Also minutes away from quieter local residential/ shopping area. The apartment itself was comfortable and had everything we needed including a washing machine and sound proof windows for sleeping. I loved cooking w the sounds of a city out our open windows. After 2 weeks in Italy, this was easily our favorite place overall. Plus, it was a lovely place in an amazing city to celebrate my birthday. I would love to come back!
