Im giving this place two stars only for convenience and closeness to city center.
Im really not sure why this place has good reviews. Maybe we just got unlucky. Lets start with check: it was very inconvenient, we waited about 30 min outside before someone came, we texted melanie and got a text back from her sister that the mom was gonna check us in, communication was not easy with so many people involved. Anyways the mom came, she checked us in and that took FOREVER. So many issues. All we wanted to do is lay down after a long day of travel.
As soon as we walked into the loft we had to hold our breath for a moment. The place smells very stuffy and very old. The bathroom had urine smell in it, like public restroom smell. the shower was soooo tiny, no room to move everywhere you turn you bump into a wall (forget about shaving legs ). Im a pretty small person. 120lbs. Oh, Also the water in the shower does NOT stay warm for more than 1 min. Have to turn it off and on many times.
Now living room area: there is a beige and red couch there, yes its nice style and antique looking but its soooo dirty. We didnt even use it. It looks gross because of how dirty it is.
upstairs/ sleeping area: If you are a tall or a large person avoid this place. Everywhere you step squeaks. Ceiling is very low, bumped my head couple times. There are some tables upstairs with lamps. They were very dusty. The only reason i brought this uo cuz of allergies. If you have allergies DO NOT STAY HERE
The worst part was check out. It was at 10am. The cleaning lady came banging on the door at 9:50am. Yelling OPEN THE DOOR OPEN THE DOOR. We woke up late and were rushing to get out. We said can you please give us 10minutes or so we are not ready yet . She yells again OPEN THE DOOR CHECK OUT IS AT 10 AND BANGING ON THE DOOR NON STOP. wow really? We know check out is at 10 but we asked for some time to finish packing. The way she was banging on the door and yelling, i honestly thought she was gonna call police on us or something, like we are robbing the place. My husband and i were both so annoyed and this was the worst part of our trip in italy. We were there for 3 weeks for honeymoon. We stayed at so many different places and this was definitely the worst.
There is a bar around the corner. It was loud on Saturday night, people standing and drinking on the street. You can hear the noise from there at night.
