It’s tough for me to rate this place.
We checked out day one and moved to a hotel in the city Centre for feeling unsafe.
Nicoletta and Salvatore were amazing, they were very kind and helpful and they responded in a timely manner. They were very kind about us moving and very apologetic, even though it was completely out of their hands. They can’t help who hangs out by their building.
The apartment itself is very nice, and clean. With a private bathroom attached to the room. So it’s nice to not have to share with the other guests. They have a kitchen that is shared space to cook meals in as well.
However, the location of the apartment is in a very seedy and unsafe neighborhood as it is very close to the train station.
We walked to the apartment and upon arriving at the building, I was inappropriately harassed by multiple men despite being there with my boyfriend. There were many people hanging out front of the building. I would describe it as a “ghetto” area. There were beer cans all around the entrance, as well as a strong odor of urine. I then had to ask another group of men to step out of the way so I could get into the door of the building. It was all very uncomfortable. I then looked outside the window of the unit and saw the police dealing with some guys across the street by the store.
The apartment inside, is lovely, but not being able to walk outside and feel safe wasn’t worth it for me.
