Reviews

• Jaroslaw from United States – 16 January 2024 (1/10)

  I was initially attracted by the price and what was advertised as a very good location, but it turned out to be incorrect. It took several calls to finally reach someone (not an owner) who provided the accurate location, which was much farther from the center than expected.
  
  What could be improved: A disappointing experience with an unreliable owner. They demanded $80 for a late check-in despite no one being on-site. The posted location was incorrect, leading to an hour of searching to find the right place. The rooms were in poor condition, not cleaned, and had garbage on the floor. Attempts to contact the actual owner were futile, forcing me to book another place in the middle of the night. Booking.com gave me a refund for one night only. The owner never responded. I highly advise against choosing this accommodation. Consider yourself warned!

  Enkelt, trevligt boende, perfekt läge vid Via Garabaldi, lätt att hitta. Allt vi behövde fanns i lägenheten. Personalen mycket vänliga och tillmötesgående, enkla att kontakta via WhatsApp.
  Pga elfel i första lägenheten fick vi ta in på hotell en natt och fick sedan byta till en mycket lyxig lägenhet vid San Marco.
  Vi kommer att bli kompenserade av boendet för hotellnatten, Booking.com var mycket förstående för vårt problem och skötte kontakten med boendet, som också varit mycket hjälpsamma.
  
  What could be improved: Att varmvattnet försvann i första lägenheten House of art, dag två av vår vistelse, och sedan slogs all el ut på kvällen dag tre, allt blev svart, väldigt otrevligt. Vi blev hänvisade av personalen på boendet att ta in på hotell för natten, dagen därpå skickade boendet en ytterst vänlig guide som tog oss till den andra lägenheten. En jobbig natt, som kompenserades av lösninginriktad och tålmodig personal.

• Emma from Spain – 12 February 2024 (7/10)

  La ubicació real estava bé. Lloc i barri tranquil.
  
  What could be improved: La ubicació que dona booking no és gens correcta, vam trobar l'allotjament gràcies a les indicacions de l'amfitriona.
  La reserva era per quatre persones i l'apartament només estava preparat per a 2, per a un dels llits no teniem llençols.
  Neteja millorable.

• Sofia from Greece – 1 May 2024 (9/10)

  Η τοποθεσία είναι πολύ καλή.
  Περίπου 10 λεπτά από το κέντρο.
  Η Via Garibaldi είναι ένας πολύ όμορφος δρόμος χωρίς τη φασαρία του κέντρου.
  
  What could be improved: Καθαριότητα
