I stayed at Patrizia's place for almost a month and after I got used to the area, I started to like it a lot. At first the area might seem a bit degenerated, but soon I started to like it a lot. Very authentic and only a 15-20 min walk to city center.
Supermarket, butcher, fruit and vegetable stands, bars, 2.5€-marghartia stone oven Pizza and tons of streetfood all within 2 minutes of walking.
The apartment itself is basic and lovely. Just like I expect an airbnb to be. No fancy hotel, but authentic and very important was that there was communication and interaction with Patrizia, who also showed me a village on the countryside one day.
Lovely. Authentic. Good location (at second glance ;) )
