I’ll start with the positive things first. Ksenia is very friendly and responsive, she communicates all check in details clearly and timely, and is there if we need anything. Also the location of this airbnb is great, there are grocery stores and laundromats very close nearby, and the train station is only a short walk away. 10-15 minutes walk to the city center as well.
Two negatives from our experience.
First, the traffic noise from the street is unreal. Especially the scooters, when they zoom past the busy street in which this listing’s window faces, it’s like I’m sleeping on the sidewalk. The traffic obviously dies down towards the evening, but it never really stops. Thus earplugs are a must, I repeat, earplugs are a must, unless you are a very heavy sleeper. It’s worth communicating with Ksenia and see if earplugs can be provided, and she did say they are actively working on a solution to dampen/reduce the traffic noise in the room so it’s not unbearable. With earplugs the noise was reduced dramatically to a manageable level. You can still hear them but it shouldn’t interfere with your sleep.
Second is the mosquitoes, they are all over Italy so that’s not anything new. However to reason unknown to us, this unit seems to have more than our usual share of mosquitoes. We would swat more than a few every night, only to still get feasted upon while we sleep. It would sometimes wake us up in the middle of the night. Make sure to have some insect repellant if you care about these kind of things.
