The view from, and location of Martina’s apartment completely lives up to the hype. Quite unbeatable views of the Duomo, and easy walking to anywhere in the city. As other reviewers noted, there was quite a lot of stairs to get to the apartment, but if able, the view is worth it. Martina is also a very communicative host, which made checking in and out painless. She also provided a lot of nespresso pods, which were greatly appreciated by our group!
While there were lots of positives from our experience, unfortunately the place was not in perfect condition during our stay. We discovered black mold in a few places in the apartment. The mold, combined with the dust in the apartment, made it hard for a number of people in our group to breathe. There was a noticeable and immediate difference in our ability to breathe when we were on the patio or outside the apartment, vice being inside.
