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 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.

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

This was a rushed, last minute choice. Only stayed for one night. The door was opened remotely after me trying to get in touch with the person in charge for half an hour. Couldn’t use the elevator as the provided key didn’t work. The room was clean but crammed and felt cheap and worn out. All noice from outside could be heard from the tram to people and scooters during the night. I checked-out as soon as possible. The place is well connected to the train station on foot.

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.

Property is in a good location, close to the main train/bus station, but at night it's kind of a bit scary, we got stopped 3 times by people asking us for money and following us to the apartment, however nothing happened. Showers are very small and for a medium to big person like me is very hard to take a shower, other than that everything is fine, rooms are clean. I would suggest to put a second pillow per person in the wardrobe for persons like me who like to sleep on two pillows (the ones we found were very soft). Sofia and Ginevra are both very accommodating and helpful.

Pretty poor in all honesty. The bed should have been a double but was two single mattresses together. The shower was awful with a massive step just to get into it.

Very good system to entry to the rooms. Easy money only. They do not expense oil to put in the doors, when open it, very noisy. This is "Supposed" to be an B&B, but no breakfast is offered. They need to change the name for rooms only, this is fake information. Also, NO Information about around, restaurants or how to get to rooms.
