The place is exactly as described. The only thing we wished is that a few more kitchen and bath supplies had been offered, but nothing that a quick trip to the market around the corner didn’t fix. We were aware of the stairs but we found them very challenging. Going up the duomo at the cathedral was easier :). The place is centrally located. Two blocks from the cathedral, surrounded by stores and restaurants and we didn’t find it to be noisy at all. I would definitely stay there if I visited again.
