This is a very difficult review for me to write. There are many positives here, but also – for us – a very big negative, so that we would not return here.
Two couples stayed here a week this October. The photos and description on the website are entirely accurate.
The really big problem for our group was the noise on the street at night. One of us slept like a baby regardless, but three of us are light sleepers, and what with party goers shouting and singing at midnight, 1am, 2am, 3am, 4am and then the market stalls getting dragged through the street at 5am and 6am - we were completely exhausted at the end of a week's stay and looking forward to some peace and quiet at the airport hotel in Milan.
During my stay I discussed various issues with Gianni, and he was cooperative in assessing the situation. There is triple glazing in the windows, but the noise affected us regardless. Obviously, there is little Gianni can do about revellers on the street.
Apart from this one big problem - there are definitely some positives also. Location is superb, can't beat it (hence the noise!!). The apartment is large enough, could easily accommodate a group of 8. Furnishings, appliances, equipment are adequate. Easy to deal with Gianni and Neil prior to arrival, and Neil was there to show us around at the appointed time. So all good on that front.
There were a few minor maintenance issues that I raised with Gianni, and he was very responsive, arranged to sort them out quickly.
So if you want to be right in the thick of it, and you're a heavy sleeper - or you plan to stay out until 4 in the morning yourself - this might be a good place to stay. While I don't want to be too negative, for us this was just the wrong place.
