Check-in with Olga who was fun to deal with. Seeing my luggage, she immediately joked that the unit was on the 6th floor (it isn't!). In explaining the need to close the windows at night I came up with a possible description of the street as "vivace" and she laughed. Even though it was a Wednesday night, the hubbub from the various establishments went until at least 12:30 when my melatonin took over.
I was just looking for a 'bed for the night' (in a city I liked years back on a day trip) after a long day of travel. The area had plenty of restaurants to choose from, a movie theater within sight, an ATM to withdraw some euro from my bank, a selection of phone stores where I was able to get an Italian phone plan for a reasonable amount. It worked for the one night but I'm not sure I could've taken the 'vivace' for an extended stay. Of course some people are looking exactly for that nightlife. The shared facilities were sufficient. While I didn't use the kitchen, one of the other guests did while I was there. Just a quick stop and back to the train station I went (easy walking distance) first thing the next morning, waving buongiorno to Olga who was passing in the streets when I opened the windows again.
