Oreste is a friendly and helpful host and we had very interesting discussions. However, it shifted from general stuff quickly and got too involved in Orestes personal history, so it was too intense for me in the end.

The room is good and warm and to the quiet part of the building. But the rest of the place is pretty run down and mouldy. the bathroom is very basic and with no steady warm water. Also the fridge is broken at the moment (but it's winter, so you can keep you food outside the window). There is an aggressive neighbor so you cannot make noise louder than whispering after 10pm.

Other than some people i liked the neighborhood – i experienced it as very lively and friendly and the place is close to the inner city (15min walking distance or easy metro access).
