This place was charmingly historic in a great neighborhood. The staircase in particular was so cool. We loved being right in the middle of everything, but still being in a comparatively quiet alleyway street. The building is hundreds of years old, so the windows aren't sound-blocking, but usually this wasn't a problem. There were people strolling through on the weekend nights, or a louder moped sometimes, but not an overwhelming noise issue. With the windows and shutters closed it felt very private, or open you felt part of a very cute neighborhood. The bed was fine, others have said it was uncomfortable with a bar in the middle, but we shared it and were each very comfortable on our sides. It felt clean.
We used the clothes washer in the kitchen, and it worked great. There wasn't a dryer, but the host provided racks and things to set clothes out to dry on and it worked fine. Most of all we loved being right in the Jewish quarter near the Theater Marcello, a couple of blocks from what seemed like every bus and metro line imaginable. We saw every sight we could think of by walking a block or two and/or catching a bus. Also great restaurants. We really liked Anna's nearby, and friendly Enzo's bar for a morning hot chocolate that tasted like a melted chocolate bar in a cup.
We were able to stay in contact with a frustrating train delay and leave our bags early with no trouble. So kind and patient with us that first day, and also we appreciated being able to leave our bags at the end for a final half day of sightseeing before our plane. Thank you Federico for having us.
