cons:
- no AC
- no elevator
- window at main street which is very busy and loud (even at night)
- hosts don't speak english (besides their son, who isn't always at home)
- you are only allowed to use the shared kitchen for breakfast (no idea why)
- bathroom is shared with lots of other guests and you therefore have to wait during "rush hours"
- the walls are very thin, so you can always here people coming in and out (or even the neighbor snoring)
- not very accommodating when it comes to check-in times even though they (an entire family) live in the apartment downstairs
additional comment: my friend helped me carry up my luggage, since the hosts do not allow guests (for whatever reason), we asked the couples son (who checked us in) before entering the building, if it was okay for him to do so; the son said it was okay for him to carry up my luggage as long as he leaves within the next 1-2 hours; shortly after carrying up all 3 bags, one of the hosts followed us upstairs and demanded to see my friends passport; after getting screamed at in italian for a little bit while constantly asking the host to call her son to explain the situation, she demanded additional payment
