Hands down, one of the nicer AirBnBs we’ve been in. We’re so glad we took the chance and booked it despite the lack of reviews (as the BnB only opened in Feb). The room was massive and very well decorated, as is the rest of the apartment. Valentina and Dario have done a fantastic job in decorating, lovingly restoring vintage furniture and giving the entire apartment a very cosy yet stylish feel. The terrace is amazing and the views from the roof were even better.

Valentina and Dario are also fantastic hosts and very knowledgeable about the city. Their breakfast offer was good, hot food (we had eggs) or cake (which we also had) as well as coffee, tea, etc. We also had leftover pizza that we'd kept in the fridge, and they kindly heated it up for us after seeing my husband eat it cold at first!

Bear in mind though that the Room Festa does not have an en-suite but the toilet/ shower room is right across the bedroom and was for our exclusive use so wasn’t a big issue. The other bedrooms appear to have en-suites but Festa looks to be the biggest room of all and also has a little balcony with steps leading up to it where you can curl up and read a book if you were so inclined.

The bnb is very centrally located and is a 5 min walk to the historic quarter and about a 7 min walk to Piazza Garibaldi where the metro is and where you can catch the Alibus to the airport. Although it’s on a main street (via Umberto 1), once you’re upstairs and the windows are shut, the traffic sounds are very faint. Even with the windows open, the traffic sounds are pretty muted that high up (5th floor, and yes, there is a lift).

In a nutshell, would absolutely recommend this to anyone. It was a shame we only stayed one night but we know we will definitely be back soon. Grazie Valentina and Dario!
