This is a wonderful place if you are looking for peace and quiet. It is not very modern but it is beautiful in its own way. For instance, there is a little balcony off the kitchen where you can sit and eat dinner and watch the birds. So tranquil. The neighborhood is multi-cultural which I enjoyed very much. The train station was a little more than a five minute walk away and the City Center was probably ten minutes. The place was clean. The beds were comfortable and, most of all, Giancarlo was a gracious host. You don't have all the modern amenities like television, elevator, dishwasher--the internet is a little slow and there are stairs--but if you are looking for a place a little bit off the beaten path yet close to EVERYTHING, this is it.
