Yes, there are stairs (pack light), and yes, there is some noise when the market stalls are torn down in the evening, but overall my stay here was all about the best of Airbnb. As a former superhost myself, I really appreciated the thoughtful details in my basic but very clean and comfotrable room. I loved hanging my head out the huge window with the jaw dropping view. It let in lots of light during the day, but also had wooden shutters for sleeping. You are in for a real treat if invited to Christina's lovely rooftop terrace. Watching the sunset and listening to her fascinating stories was a highlight of my trip. Grazie mille Christina!
