The listing states that the apartment is "...very comfortable and quiet...", but on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights of our stay, there was LOUD, thumping, throbbing dance music coming from an establishment below from about 10 p.m. until 3:30 a.m.
Ironically, the host requests that all guests refrain from loud noise after 9 p.m. while in the apartment!
I have posted a short video clip of the noise: https://youtu.be/SHU8iHYlNT4
I'm not blaming the host for the loud music; I am suggesting he warn future guests with the following wording in his listing:
"The apartment is above a lively neighborhood and there may be occasions of loud, late night and/or early morning music. Guests are advised to pack earplugs and/or noise-canceling headphones."
Additionally, be aware that if you are in bedroom #2, you must descent nine steps, cross the living area and go down another two steps to reach the bathroom. And, if you're in bedroom #1, you'll need to cross thru the edge of bedroom #2 to reach the kitchen.
Pierpaolo is a lovely and considerate host--- and a talented furniture maker!
