Imagine for a moment if you will, trying to sleep. it's hot and you're scared of the mosquitos from the days before. The streetlights shine into your room. Then you hear what sounds like a train making an emergency stop. When there's a moment of silence, it is broken by a moped driving by on the once silent little street on the other side of the apartment. This goes on until you either go mad, put in earplugs if you're lucky and headphones if you're not, or close the windows. But when you close the windows, the room heats up so fast and to such a temperature, that you feel like you are lying in the sauna. Either way you get stung to death by mosquitoes. It may sound like hyperbole, but it is not. This was off-season, imagine if you were to come here in high summer. You will barely sleep here either way because the train station and road are directly to either side of the apartment. Which is also interesting because you can sit on your bed and make eye contact with a person on a train and eye contact with a person on the building on the other side of the street. And people in the train do look inside when the train is stopped mere metres next to your window and they do wave. A dream for privacy. At least a bit funny. Also, we were once woken up by what sounded like furniture being moved above us, which could have only been the owner, as her apartment was above ours. You have probably read this in somebody else's review, but she has cats. They hide up there the whole day and look judgingly through the small opening of the door, so if you're allergic, they won't bother you I guess, Unless you're very allergic because they do roam throughout the hallways at night. Else, the room is nice but has a bed that's a bit short.
Then, the kitchen. It is there, i guess. In the time we were there, their stove was broken but they offered a gas powered camping stove. There was a fridge which was not cold enough to stop our breakfast from molding, and no basics like olive oil or pepper, which is a pain because if you want to make even the simplest Italian dish, caprese, you have to buy it yourself. There's also little things that don't matter that much but are weird, like the missing knobs on drawers and the uncleanly painted walls.
All in all, I wouldn't recommend this. unless all of the above sounds great.
