Silvia and Jacopo were great hosts. They provided clear and easy directions for electronic check-in (no meet-up with the host required), the room (and entire hostel space) was clean, and the shared bathroom clean. They were very friendly checking in with me via text throughout my stay to see if I needed anything.
Regarding noise, consider yourselves warned. You are above a piano bar where youths drink and sing. It made me smile — as I donned noise canceling headphones and listened to nature sounds to get to sleep.
The value of this apartment depends on what you’re looking for. If you want to settle in and stay for more than 2-3 nights, this may not be the place for you. It is very sparse, lacks some amenities (eg a nespresso machine as someone else noted), and the price was (to me) borderline high.
However, if you’re looking for a well-located place to launch off on 2-3 days of bolognese adventures (and don’t plan to stay in your room much), this is a solid choice.
