Great location and surprisingly quiet, given the bustling market below. Great spot to grab some leather bags, jackets, or other scarves and accessories as the stalls are open for business and haggling! The Mercato Centrale was a great place to eat as well as grab some fresh groceries- mozzarella, zucchini blosssoms, porcini, olives and salamis were just a few of the gems we picked up. The upstairs of the Mercato Centrale also offers cooking classes! The loft is nice and cool, and we didn't have a problem with the low head space in the sleeping area, although we did bonk our heads once each - that was all it took to be more careful! Also, this apartment is on the third floor with a fairly narrow staircase. If you have multiple bags, you might make a couple of trips to get your stuff up to the apartment.
