Silvano's place is a lovely home. He offers a clean bedroom with a nice big window on the second floor of the building. His private space is between the bedroom and the bathroom and kitchen, and it is separated by a portable screen, so know that it is not completely separate. That being said, he works very hard and has long hours, so during our stay of three nights, we rarely saw him. The accommodation was not occupied by the owner during the day hours, and he only seemed to come home to sleep and he is very thoughtful and quiet.
If you are walking to this location from the train station, please note that the fastest and, what seemed to me to be, safest route was to exit out of the train station, take a left and walk down the road immediately along the train station until you reach Piazza Porto Maggiore, then turn left to go under the train line through the underpass, continue down the road and you will find his home and trattoria. Using this route, it will take about 30 minutes, which is the fastest route we found.
I will note about the business of the roadways. This accommodation is situated on a busy street, which also has elevated freeway lines, I believe three of them, right across the street. We found this to be a bit noisy when compared to our other accommodation. It is not necessarily off-putting, but if you are a light sleeper, you may want to take some earplugs.
The cafe/cappuccino and baked item offered at the trattoria in the morning are a nice start to the day. We tended to make ourselves something in the morning and then head over for a cppuccino before heading out for the day.
