This place is off the beaten path and really not close to downtown at all. It is a high rise apt.and the area does look run down and rough,but I never felt unsafe.The apartment was very clean, plumbing issues we're constant and wifi sporatic. There is a shopping market for fruit near by as well as a bar. This area is very noisy all the time during all hours. If you keep the windows closed it does cut noise level down a lot. Also, as we were leaving we were asked to pay an additional 21 euros for Italy tax that apparently Airbnb did not collect at the time of our reservation. I thought this was weird and it may have been disclosed on Airbnb I don't remember or it gets lost in translation.
