The room itself was beautiful, but we ran into several challenges during our stay.
Pros: amazing view, probably the best view we’ve ever had in a room. The place was well decorated. Marietta was friendly, great with the checkin process and gave us many tips about where to eat, the best way to get to attractions, etc.
Cons: if you have more luggage than you can comfortably carry up and down a flight of stairs, getting to the room is a nightmare. The listing didn’t make it clear exactly how many flights of stairs we had to navigate to get to the room. To get to the building there are about 3 narrow flights of stairs on the street, which is already bumpy by itself. And then there are 2 flights of stairs inside the building, very steep, dark, and narrow. We had two large suitcases and two backpacks, and were exhausted by the time we got to the apartment.
The kitchen was also missing some staples like salt and pepper. Some of the dishes were still greasy as well.
We weren’t able to get in touch with Giuseppe during our stay. We wanted to order a taxi and messaged him saying so but didn’t get a response. Maybe someone else handles these messages, but it wasn’t clear who we should have contacted after the initial check in.
