EPIC! This apartment is right in the centre of the action and all of the attractions are a short walk away. The roof top patio is what really sets this apartment apart from others. It is truly a magical place to have your morning coffee, an afternoon drink or night- time wine & cheese. The views of the piazza below and other surroundings are breathtaking. There are caveats to this. Being in the centre of the action, right beside the Vucciria, night times are loud and boisterous 7 days a week. You WILL hear loud music, people singing and the occasional firework well into the evening and into the witching hours. I never heard music after 2am. I was awoken one night at 1:10am by some nearby fireworks and some group singing (think football fans) at 2:00am. We never heard nor witnessed any drunken stupidity. The other caveat is STAIRS. In order to get this epic view, you need altitude. That comes at a price. 62 stairs from the street to the apartment and even more once inside. In my opinion, the view from the rooftop is worth every step.
The apartment is multi-level. Apon entry, there is a small foyer with stairs to the next level. The next level is the main area with a small living room area, bathroom with a shower, toilet and bidet. There are two more rooms that I would describe as a "split kitchen". The open area has a small dining table, very small fridge and coffee maker. There is another tiny room containing a cooktop, sink and microwave. We did not cook during our time there. A half level up from beside dining table is a partial loft with a single day bed. The bedroom is another partial loft above the living room. It has a double bed and a sloping beamed ceiling. I'm 5"10" (178cm) and stayed on the higher side. I did bump my head on the lower side. The bed felt fine for the first few days, then seemed to feel a bit hard. A foam topper would help. The bathroom was clean but showed its age, a bit of new caulking in the shower would help. A final note that the apartment is wonderfully decorated. I would not hesitate to stay here again and if not for the ability of exterior noises to penetrate the apartment, given it at 5-5.
