Can someone please help me translate:
a due passi dal centro?
This phrase is used to describe the location of a hotel.
thanks!

thanks...the hotel says it is 1km so guess those are pretty big steps!

A ten minutes walk here is a short one.

We got directions from the desk clerk at our hotel in Naples to go to a seafood restaurant on the Bay. She said it was "a 15 minute" walk.
40.
So 2 steps equals 1 km would be about right!
