Lelio himself was very nice and communicative and even let us check in early! It was a small little space that had a full kitchen and things to use for cooking/living. It felt very safe because there was a front gate, however the door to the room itself seemed alittle unsafe because the door handle was broken and there was also a crack in the door that someone could possibly peek through if they wanted to.
When we got to the front concierge there was a lady speaking to the concierge lady for about 20 minutes with us standing there waiting behind her. It seemed maybe they were friends or something because it was a very casual seeming conversation and they had complete disregard we were there. But we waited patiently without asking anything.
When she finally left, it was difficult to communicate with the front desk concierge as we clearly did not speak any Italian and was using g***** translate yet she kept speaking Italian to us as if we would understand the more she spoke.
Lelio had messaged me that he told the front concierge we would be there earlier but it seemed she had no idea and was telling us to come back at 2 which is fine because I understand that’s check in time. So I asked if it’s possible to just drop off our bags as Lelio mentioned we could if they weren’t done cleaning and she didn’t seem too happy about that. Eventually she said she’ll take us upstairs to drop our bags and as we were going up she told us that it’s fine we can just stay. When we went in it seemed the place was already clean and ready so I don’t know why that was such an issue.
Anyways this place is great if you’re on a budget and just need a quick place to stay. We were only staying for one night passing through to get to Venice it was good enough for that. You may also need to walk a little further to find a market as there’s more retail stores around there than anything. There’s also farmers market on every Thursday and we happened to be there they sold alot of fresh food and little clothing shops. Metro and bus stops are close by too.
Thank you Lelio!
