“Unico suggerimento: il letto è un po' basso ed il materasso leggermente duro (sono gusti personali per cui l'annotazione non inficia il giudizio complessivo).”

Best rooms to request
Guests should be aware that the apartment is split over multiple levels with stairs, which might be challenging for those with mobility issues.
“Unico neo forse la predisposizione su più livelli diciamo .”
“The stairs and loft-style bedroom worked well for us but might be a bit challenging for some guests. The bed was perfectly fine, though a touch softer would have made it even more comfortable.”
“Nothing - only caution is that the apartment is 2 storey so that there are stairs from street level to lounge/kitchen and again up to the bedroom. Not recommended for those with mobility issues.”
Things to know
Paid parking is a recurring point, though some guests found free alternatives with the host's help. It's not a hidden fee but a common local situation.
