Giovanna’s apartment is beautifully designed and furnished and looks even better than in the photos. There were lots of thoughtful touches, from the soft furnishings to nice soap and shampoo. The location is perfect, really close to the centre of the city with lots of bars, supermarkets and places to eat nearby. Giovanna was communicative and met us for a late-ish check in (7pm) although we did have some trouble finding the building. It is currently under a scaffolding due to works on the building and it would have been helpful to know about this in advance.
Unfortunately we had two very bad night’s sleep. The wall between apartments is thin and we could hear voices clearly on the other side. On both nights we stayed the neighbours in the adjacent apartment came home at 2.00am and we could hear loud conversation, hoovering and clattering around. They then started to play music (Slipknot, of all things!) and this continued throughout the night until approximately 5.00am. It is a real shame because if this issue with the neighbours could be resolved we would have no hesitation in recommending the apartment. Hopefully this is something Giovanna can sort out because it would be a really great place otherwise.
