Place is small and basic. Ginevra who checked us in was extremely nice and helpful. The location is perfect, far enough away that it’s a quiet street but still walking distance to everything. Also we had pastries and coffee at the same place around the corner every morning that were fantastic
The room was advertised as a bed & breakfast, there was no breakfast offered. It was also advertised as a bathroom/bidet included IN the room. The bathroom was shared. There was no WiFi even when the weather was sunny and clear. A handful of mosquitos in the room too. I have about 8 bug bites from the five nights I stayed there.
I’m not the kind to give bad reviews but it was shared bathroom no tv and the bathroom too small smells bad I don’t recommend it if you’re staying few days
Overall ok, theres no reception or lobby or anything. We had to use WhatsApp to contact the owner(?) To let us into the apartment building. The bathroom was dirty, but they let us move to another room immediately. Doors work with a code rather than a key so they just texted us to move to a new room No room service, no fresh towels etc during our stay. We probably could have requested them. Ok location, tram T2 goes towards city center, about a 10 min walk.
The rooms were comfortable, the location is great, and the staff was super nice and responsive. Although the check-in process and communication is all on-line, they always replied immediately to all my messages and requests. The only downside was the shower of the shared bathroom, which was a bit unsteady. But overall, I had good experience!
The check in was remotely done, quick and smooth but the room provided was terrible. The double bed is made using two single beds, not comfortable at all. The room was full of mosquitos and was a graveyard of dead flies and mosquites all around the walls. Toilet was clean but was small and getting into and out of the shower is unsafe as it is very easily slippable

There is no staff on duty. Everything is run through messages on WhatsApp. The electricity went off for 5-10 minutes my first night without notice, the pipes make gutling amd burping sounds everytime the watee is used (for washing hands, flushing toilet or showering)

The bathroom was a little smelly when you flushed the toilet, no matter the contents inside. The entrance is a little confusing, the light is automatic so you have to switch it on when you’re entering. The overall room was nice, the bed was very comfortable, a little creaky. Overall nice stay. Had a problem with my booking and the owner was very lenient and helped me out over the phone. There is no lobby or staff, just an apartment style entrance.
Extra small room. Extra small and dirty bathroom. Uncomfortable check in. Dark entrance. Unsafe windows and unsafe shower. Furniture very old. Extra small TV. Bed and towells clean at least.
