Awesome experience! If you like bohemian lifestyle this place is for you. The loft is on a very quiet street that basically has zero car traffic, but just a few meters from a lively strip that acts as fruit and vegetable market, flea market and restaurant/bar party outdoors area depending on the time and day. Although you might see some more adventurous tourists coming to eat and party at night this is an Italian neighborhood. It's a kind of place where people start saying hello to you on the street after a few days...

Our hosts gave us a small tour of the surroundings on the first day pointing out best places to eat, drink morning cappuccino and get the pizza. You can also get general groceries in a few small stores close by.

Note, that there is certain 'edge' to the place especially in the evenings. When I say bohemian I do mean all kinds of interesting characters are roaming the streets in the evening. But, it never felt unsafe independent of the hour of the night. We traveled with a 11-year-old girl and she loved the place as much as we did!

Don't miss the famous Necci Cafe which is about 5-minute walk away, but very well hidden unless you look for it! http://www.necci1924.com/
