At first, we weren't sure we want to get an Airbnb that's not in the center, but after a few days here we learned that it was for the best.
San Lorenzo is a great neighborhood where people actually live, work, study, and have fun in. It's been a great base to get to the center from (busses and trams readily available) and at night we enjoyed going to the local restaurants and bars. With at least 3 supermarkets a couple of blocks away we had no problem preparing meals at the apartment as well.
The apartment is cozy and stylish, and the bed is one of the most comfortable ones we've slept in!
Throughout everything, booking, checking in, and during our stay, Michele was helpful and quick to respond, and his explanations about the city and neighborhood made our stay even better.
Some local recommendations:
- Once Upon a Time Coffee (C'era una volta il Caffè): we opened every morning with a cappuccino (1€) and a pistachio cornetto (0.9€/1.5€ piccolo/grande). Excellent coffee and pastries! Take a left when exiting the building and walk to the end of the block (there's 2 with the same name on the street).
- Il Grano: some of the best pizza dough we had in Italy.
- Pizzeria Formula 1: the pizza didn't impress us, but there's a nice selection of fried appatizers. We loved the Suppli.
