This neighborhood is really great! We met some locals and loved their friendly attitude. It’s close to much public transport and walking distance to Corso Como. Lots of great restaurants too! We ran into a cute market near Isola metro station on Tuesday (and I hear it’s also on Saturday).
The place is well designed. It’s clean (mostly - see bottom). The air conditioning works - though it takes a few tries to figure it out. The beds are really comfortable. For $15 euro they will come and change sheets and towels - which was great since we stayed almost a week!
I think it’s important for renters to know that Elisabetta and Nelly are employees (or own) of a rental company. This home is not where someone lives but is rented out frequently. I was thrilled with this, as I don’t want to deal with other people’s junk. But, if you are looking for a “home” experience, this is not the place. (For example, sent Nelly a text to ask for public transport advice and she didn’t respond back for a day because it was her day off. All good, but in my opinion Air B&B renters should know this prior to booking).
Now for the 3 things I would change:
- master shower has mold
- washing machine has mold (clothes came out smelling stinky not clean)
- major construction going on nearby that started about 7am - noisy and hard to sleep... this should have been disclosed upfront. (This was April 2018- I would say they are not close to completion).
