Lovely apartment! Extremely spacious with excellent functioning AC in all rooms. Great location just next to the Piazza Duomo. Beautiful entryway staircase. On a lively Main Street but extremely quiet with the windows closed and you can hear no noise in the inner courtyard. Bathrooms are well appointed with hand soap, shampoo, toilet paper and towels. Kitchen stocked with coffee and 2 large waters. Received a lovely book written by the owner as a welcome gift! We could not have been happy with this apartment it was truly wonderful. It is important to know that while both bathrooms are complete full bathrooms, 1 has a shower and 1 has a tub. Overall 10/10. Great deal for a great place with tons of character!
