We enjoyed staying at Katia's, wonderful central location, and the view from the balcony of the Duomo is unparalleled. However, the furniture was a bit lackluster compared to how they look in images, and the hot water heater is shared with another apt, and can be very slow to reheat. If you are traveling on business, and have appts, this can be problematic. Or if you're in a hurry to enjoy the city. The kitchen is very outdated and very shabby, with minimum basic necessities, but for us, it was sufficient. If you want to cook for family or friends, or you just like contemporary kitchen, not so much. The shower stall is also very very small, in a large bathroom. The upkeep of the apt in general is not really very good, there is peeling paint in the bathroom on the ceiling. I think the price is very appropriate considering these issues, however, so I recommend to budget travelers looking for experience with the view and not so much with the decor. :))
