We chose to stay here because it’s so centrally located and has in-unit laundry We stayed here in the middle of a two-week trip in Europe and so that helped us pack lighter. Check-in was easy, we just let Giulia know when we arrived and she greeted us at the gate and showed us the place. She lives next door so if there are any issues she’s very responsive. Her English is better than our Italian so that’s how we communicated.
The elevator is quite old but very convenient; otherwise you’d be climbing two flights of stairs each time you want to come and go. The unit is very charming and spacious, with tall ceilings and gorgeous antique furniture. There’s an old piano, which works but is pretty out of tune. The kitchen was fine, we didn’t do much cooking so I can’t say much more. We didn’t have much time to read but the library is quite a nice place to pass some time, and there’s a large desk if you need to get work done.
The bedroom is on a mezzanine up a spiral staircase from the library, which is a nice separation from the rest of the space but is a little inconvenient because the bathroom is not on the same floor as the bedroom, and the spiral staircase steps don’t have a lot of grip so you must be cautious.
The surrounding neighborhood is very lively with many cafes and restaurants in close vicinity. We could have stayed within 200 meters of the BNB for many days and not run out if things to do or explore.
Also thanks to Giulia for helping arrange a taxi for us when we needed one.
