civico 38

The historic center is around 800 meters away, about a 15-20 minute walk, so there’s no need to drive around looking for parking. There’s free parking right outside the apartment. It was clean and well kept, with easy access and an elevator, and the receptionist was friendly and helpful.

The apartment was clean, but there were plenty of other problems. The owner didn’t come to show us the place and sent her son instead, who didn’t seem to know much about it. There was still an unhygienic plastic tub in the bathtub, and we got one soap sachet along with the towel for a two-day stay. The kitchen was bare. After calling the owner, I had to go and get a pot and pan, though their cost was refunded. There wasn’t a dishcloth, so we used paper towels and napkins to dry things. The dish soap was a little bottle watered down. I bought the dark green bottle in the attached photo, and the sponge beside it was the one I was expected to use for washing dishes, even though the rules say dishes must be cleaned thoroughly. The listing says it can accommodate two adults and two children, but in my view it only has room for two adults and one child, or three adults at most. Also, don’t leave anything behind. As soon as you go out the door, everything gets thrown away, food included. I bought a 2.5kg bag of frozen chips for a party, came back five minutes later, and the owner told me to retrieve them from the organic waste bin. A phone call would have taken little effort and saved the food. She said she didn’t have time to waste. For what we paid, there are much better places nearby. I’m sorry, but I won’t be coming back.

It’s a clean, well-kept apartment, and Antonella is so kind and helpful. The center and the hospital are close by, with a grocery store, pizzeria, butcher, and bar all within walking distance. I recommend staying here.

A clean, comfortable place with a kind and welcoming owner. I’d recommend it for a family of four.
