We really enjoyed our stay at Barbara's place, and the amount of stairs is not even an issue. it's close walking distance to everything and is on a quiet street. however, I must say that there is hardly any sound insulation in the flat, as we heard people walking and talking up and down the stairs and the bathroom isn't soundproof at all, so a shower late at night may wake up your sleeping roommate. these are not too big of an issue, but just in case you're travelling with children or are very light sleepers. the place was super clean and so cute, with stylish Italian touches! the sofabed is comfortable and our experience was wonderful :) definitely recommend.
