Didn't appreciate that:
- It's a semi-BASEMENT, 3 steps below ground/street level, with poor natural light;
- It's damp and smells like mold, mixed with excessive air fresheners; my asthma didn't like either of those;
- The main bedroom's window faces an indoor space (the staircase and elevator door), so privacy and natural ventilation were poor;
- The so-called 2nd bedroom is in fact a narrow closet with a bed in it;
- There is no acoustic privacy inside the apartment: the main bedroom is connected to the closet (so called "2nd bedroom") by a large air-vent and the 2nd bedroom is connected to the kitchen by a wall opening large enough to fit a basketball. Sound-wise, the apartment is virtually a single space, where you can hear everything.
- It has poor sound insulation;
- It has loud neighbors (one neighbor yelled and partied until 2 AM on a weekday).
I appreciated that:
- Lillo, the guy that greeted us was very friendly and helpful;
- The area is safe and relatively close to Bari Vecchia;
- The place was clean and we received complementary tea and treats.
Felt like really poor value. At the time of the reservation, the place was priced similarly to other 2 bedroom / 1 bedroom + living room apartments within comparable distance of Bari Vecchia. It being a semi-BASEMENT with little acoustic privacy made it a poor option for me. Would not recommend.
