Staff at the hotel were great - friendly, helpful, kind. Breakfast was wonderful as well. Lots of offerings, homemade eggs(!), meat, cheeses, caffe - just great. The one long table - very conducive to meeting others at the hotel. NICE! I was able to leave my bags before checkin and after checkout - really appreciated that service. Old Italian building - lovely. Room positives: bed comfortable; the window faced the street but surprisingly quiet and I slept with the window open, no noise from other rooms. Room negatives: furnishings not as nice/updated as the photos, one end table oily/dirty on the surface; complementary slippers were dirty/worn, no chair/work area as the photo shows and description lists. But I used the room only to sleep in and it was sufficient. Never saw the host - Edoardo.
