PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW AND NOT JUST THE STAR RANKING.
Claudio is a five star host. Inside the flat is nice, spacious and extremely clean. The beds are comfortable, the water hot and things like a location map are provided. There is a lift so for anyone who does not want to walk the two flights, there is a recourse.
The city is loud and the flat is on a major road, so you get louder than normal city noises. Claudio nicely provides earplugs for guests, which underscores that he is a true five star host.
One of our guests had her wallet stolen on her first day. Claudio personally took her to the police station to help her with paperwork.
Which brings me to the one star portion of the review. The flat is in an extremely sketchy neighborhood. In two days, one guest had her wallet stolen and a scooter driver tried to violently steal another's bag. I've been all over the world and in some of the more dangerous places. I've never been in a neighborhood where 95% of the eyes were constantly on my belongings. Everyone was on high alert the entire time. Is that how you want to spend your trip?
Choose this neighborhood at your own peril. If you plan on regularly taking the train from Garibaldi, stay in a neighborhood with easy metro access instead.
