The location was very good and close to a lot of restaurants, bars, and shops. When I first arrived it was a bit shocking since the outside has lots of graffiti and it looks as if I was not in a good or safe area. I guess depending on where you are coming from, the outside can be a little rough in the eyes. We were coming from Paris... it took us a while to adjust. We only spent 1 night and it was easy to find what we needed within walking distance. Lots of nightlife and very close to the University so the night was very alive with lots of bars and tons of restaurants.
The host was super responsive and very pleasant. He showed up at the perfect time when we were arriving by taxi and the taxi driver was attempting to rip us off by charging more than he should. We were demanding an explanation for the high charges from the driver since I knew I was being ripped off. Taxi drivers in Italy are known for that and simply horrible to deal with.
As soon as Annachiara showed up speaking Italian to the driver the trip fare went back down. He still got more than we were informed by Annachiara from the airport to his place but we settled for a resolution that felt somewhat reasonable.
We noticed the next day due to my back pain that the bed was broken on the right side (sleeping left side) causing it to be very slanted, highly noticeable and easy to identify where it was broken. I am not sure the host was aware, it seems like maybe no one had yet mentioned. With that fixed, it would have been a very comfortable bed.
Very cute and clean place!
