• Kerry from United Kingdom – 19 April 2024 (9/10)

  Great location nice & quiet but very near (50m) a nice piazza and 10-25mins walk to most of the (many) attractions. Easy to contact host, property very clean & spacious – fully fitted kitchen (large fridge/freezer), oven, hob, loads of cupboard storage, bedroom has loads of storage too.
  
  What could be improved: Minor points only:
  Bathroom: 1 step up from main room which is fine. The sink & shower are another step up and it's slightly awkward to get into/out of the shower because you have to step over the base of the shower too – I don't know if I would have coped if I was unsteady on my feet.
  Room is up 3 flights of stairs – not a problem for us but again those with poor mobility should avoid.
  Garbage: No easy disposal, no bins nearby that we saw. Option 1: to try & meet with the Garbage boat (no fixed times & we didn't fancy waiting in for 3-4hrs). Option 2: pay 10 euros for cleaner to dispose of it (we chose this option as it was easiest). Later realised that if you're walking near the train station then there are loads of bins to dump it (but you'd need to walk 10-15mins with your rubbish to get there).

• Anhelina from Belarus – 5 August 2023 (9/10)

  I recently stayed at these apartments and found the experience quite satisfying. The location is undoubtedly one of its strongest points, with all major sights within walking distance. This made exploring the city a breeze!
  Convenience was also a highlight, with a grocery shop right under the house. This made meal preparation or quick snacks very easy, especially with the well-equipped kitchen that included all the necessary utensils. Appliances like a dishwasher and washing machine were in good condition and made the stay even more comfortable.
  The apartment was clean and well-maintained, with two air conditioners ensuring a pleasant temperature. Clean bedding was provided, which added to the overall comfort.
  
  What could be improved: However, the one downside was the uncomfortable mattress in the bed. While everything else met or exceeded expectations, a more comfortable mattress would have made the stay perfect.
  
  Overall, I recommend these apartments for their excellent location and amenities. If you can overlook the mattress issue, it offers a convenient and enjoyable stay in the heart of the city.

• Eliza from Australia – 27 July 2023 (7/10)

  Well equipped kitchen, washing machine, iron. Fold out lounge was a decent size. Host was good to communicate with and check in process was simple.
  
  What could be improved: Main bed was uncomfortable (slumped in middle). €4 per person per night city tax. Have to deal with own rubbish disposal upon check out.

• Urbanovská from Czech Republic – 25 April 2022 (7/10)

  perfectly clean , nice place
  
  What could be improved: problem with central heating

• Ankit from Germany – 3 August 2024 (9/10)

  Location of the apartment was perfect. Waterbus Line 1 is 5 min far by which you can reach to every place easily. Supermarket is just around the corner. You also have some good restaurants and bakery nearby. Check-in and check-out process was also very smooth and apartment owner was easily reachable.
  
  What could be improved: There were no kitchen towel and bath soap. Adding these things will be nice.

• Hovhannes from Armenia – 27 May 2024 (8/10)

  Location and facilities
  
  What could be improved: Mosquitos

• Natalia from Poland – 24 March 2024 (7/10)

  -The apartment is located in a very good place from which is easy to reach each destination;
  -The apartment is well-equipped;
  -The landlord was helpful and answered quite fast on all our questions
  
  What could be improved: -There is a requirement to segregate the trash, so I think that the apartment could be better equipped with additional bins as there is only one bin, without the instruction on how to segregate. The instruction is sent on booking chat and is not clear.
  -Taking into consideration the price, in other apartments in Italy, we have the shower gel, it is for me rather standard so I didn't take the toiletry.
