Yes we felt very welcome. We were 3 couples travelling together and each of us found a comfortable bed. They accommodated our request for an early check in / at a minimum to leave our luggage so we could start our sight seeing. The area is a little rough around the edges. I am not a fan of grafitti and unfortunately there was quite a bit of it in the immediate vicinity. The access to Stada Nova and the shops and restaurants is very convenient. It was challenging to haul suitcases over 3 bridges from Ca Doro to get to the location of the apartment but that is not the Host's issue. Having the very nice hotel right next door in the same building was a comfort.
