The apartment has an excellent location, some 200m from the Duomo. It is also very quiet (except for occasional church bells during the day, which is perfectly normal for Italy!). The furniture is adequate, although not much money has been spent on it. The lighting is rather poor. Cooking facilities, however, consist only of a hotplate and some saucepans - there are no kitchen knives, chopping boards, corkscrew nor tin-opener - and no kettle or toaster. Accordingly, any cooking beyond heating a tin of soup is very difficult (and even for this you may need to bring your own tin-opener). The hotplate also failed while we were there, for which we were denied compensation. If you plan to eat your meals out, the apartment will do very well.
