    Lovely characterful apartment in the centre, but bring earplugs if you’re a light sleeper.

    It was super noisy as it is right above a restaurant that didn’t close until early morning, so we found it difficult to sleep; it would have been good if this was mentioned then we would have brought earplugs because it was still a nice place to stay - sleep is important when on vacation.

    Lovely setting, and full of character.

    right over several bars. was very noisy well into the early mornings (3am). one of the evenings there was a fight below with a lot of shouting and banging.

    The building and apartment was very cute, filled with antiques and decorative items to make it unique and full of character. Was easy to collect keys, apartment was clean and well appointed. Location was good and bad, good because it was easy to get to around. Bad because it is right above a very popular (and good) bar which meant it was noisy until 2-3 in the morning. On the other hand, if you like a lively area and like to frequent bars, it's a short walk home!

    Just the spiral staircase may be an issue if you have heavy luggage or young children, but it wasn't a problem for us.

    The apartment is full of character, inkeeping with the age of the palazzo, yet stylish and original. We wished we stayed longer!

    Just under the apartment there are 2 bars - so its not a quiet place at night. Just keep it in mind. The place itself is stunning.

    Amazing interior, perfect location, spacious rooms, comfy beds. All top class. And the flowers hanging from the roof. Perfect instastory :)

    - The bedrooms are interconnected, no way to get to the bathroom without going through the other rooms - You hear the noise from the streets - Not easy to use the shower, very old school faucet quite uncomfortable

    If you value having a one of a kind experience this is the place for you. But it may not be the e most comfortable place (showers, bedrooms, etc) - Very charming and unique palazzu - Lovely furniture - Amazing location very central - Easy to find free street parking nearby - Has coffee, shampoo and all the ammenities you need - Has AC

    The location, the thick windows & shutters (keeps the outside fun to a background hum), the light, the feeling of the place. Our daughter was very taken with “mum & dad’s room” (the mezzanine).

    It was a bit hard to find, in part because we arrived in the late evening when the host could not be available onsite, but she helped us over the phone.

    Great location. Room had a fun decor of antiques, a very cool patio, and even a laundry room. Very convenient to walk to the major sites, and lots of restaurants in the neighborhood. We felt very safe there.

    As it is right next to a bar, it can get quite noisy, even with all the windows shut. But this stops at midnight.

    The apartment is full of character and feels very rustic and interesting. The walls are full of antiques and interesting things. Far better than the boring plain boxes that are available elsewhere. The
