Emi was a really fantastic host, he was super friendly and easy-going even though we were very late for check-in, as well as being really quick to answer messages. He provided us with all the information we needed and more. The hostel seemed very warm and welcoming, and as you can see from the pictures the room is nicely decorated. But unfortunately there were some things which could have gone better during my stay. The main issues were the shower, which didn't work for me the two times I tried to use it (water failed to warm up) which meant I couldn't shower whilst I was there, although other guests had at least one shower so maybe I was just unlucky. Also at one point the toilet wasn't flushing properly, it was a little noisy throughout the night due to the traffic outside (the apartment overlooks a motorway), the curtains didn't keep out any light and I wasn't able to shut my door so noise from the other guests was sometimes an issue. Also the bathroom leads out onto the balcony, and if there was anyone sitting out there then they would be able to see you on the toilet or in the shower! Pigneto seems like a good area for bars and restaurants, but if you're hoping to spend all your time in the centre then the 81 bus is useful but slow and in my experience not reliable later on in the night.
