Alessandra’s place was beautifully decorated and had lots of space for storage and laying out luggage. We appreciated that it had AC since it was hot in June when we visited.
Checking in wasn’t very smooth though as our plane had to be detoured due to strikes and the person checking us in said she would recommend that we respect the arrival time when we had to change it due to the detour. There was nothing we could do about the changed arrival time and we kept getting messages asking for updates when I was already giving all the updates I had received. She was very helpful with transportation tips though. Due to this Airbnb being run by an outside company, it seems like they give the check-in person too many appointments so they are on a time crunch, which in turn really stressed me out in getting there from the airport.
The neighborhood can be a little rough at night so be sure to get back to the apartment at a reasonable hour. We had to get back late one evening and were followed by a man who grabbed my husband by the arm and kicked him lightly on the behind after I pulled his arm away from my husband.
It is a 10-15 minute walk to the train station though so that is convenient. There is also a restaurant across from the train station that was very tourist friendly and we had breakfast there every morning.
