Things you should know. There was no air conditioner, no coffee maker, no blankets, no television, no coffee shop within 3 blocks and basically no fire escape because the windows were barred and you have to go up a flight of stairs and then down the outside stairs to get out. There was lots of street noise-more like vibration because trains and trams rattle the building constantly from 5:30 am-11:30 pm on weekdays-later on weekends. There was junk everywhere-nasty old food oozing on the shelf, hairbrushes and body powders in the bathroom. The outside area was even worse. Trash graffiti and the smell of urine on the sidewalks. We were so uncomfortable there we rented a hotel for the 2nd night and moved up our flights to leave Italy early. Because of the 3 day minimum we weren't able to cancel and get any of our money back. It seems A/C isn't on many places in town so maybe it was just our expectations that made this such a bad experience. Our host was nice and responsive and even let us check in early. If someone is ok with the area and getting a place without a/c anyway, I expect this place would be cooler than most. We closed the windows in the morning and it was cooler than outside by afternoon.
