Nice stay-except for the steps. It’s a very old building, 3rd floor, high ceilings, no elevator. I was not expecting so many steps and with a problem knee it was rough. The A/C worked well, bed was comfortable with nice linens and the staff were very nice and helpful. Right beside Mercato, which is nice- but you have to run the gauntlet of leather hawkers everytime you arrive or depart. Overall good stay, but those steps were brutal.

This was great little room, clean, comfortable bed and mini fridge that they would restoke with complimentary drinks, and coffee. The breakfast in the morning was simple but very nice and you could order a ready made espresso. The B&B is right on the square with many restaurants and shops which does make it very noisy, probably my only complaint besides some difficulty finding it on day 1. The address was not readily available in Expedia. They however were very responsive in assisting. It is very close to the train station and an easy walk to main attractions.
