We stayed at this apartment for 9 nights in mid-April. I struggled to choose a star rating because this apartment has so many positives, but the one negative is a very big negative. First, the positives. As other reviewers have mentioned, the location is ideal, just steps from the main pedestrian street Corso Umberto. The grocery store is within easy walking distance. The apartment itself is spacious, clean, and comfortable, and the roof deck and views are spectacular. The wifi was very reliable and the kitchen was functional and well stocked. The representative who greeted us, Ann England, was prompt, pleasant, efficient, and responsive. The one major negative is the noise that comes from the outdoor seating of the bars/restaurants that are located directly below the bedroom windows. Before booking I had read the reviews that mentioned some restaurant noise, but I didn’t fully comprehend how loud this noise would be and how late into the night it would continue. Even with the windows and shutters closed, it sounded like the people were right in the room with us—loud laughter, conversation, singing, and amplified guitar music. The noise continued until 4:00 or 5:00 am. We tried sleeping with ear plugs, which did not help all that much. We are a mature couple and were traveling with an elderly couple, so we were back in the apartment fairly early each night. This may not be as much of an issue for those who tend to stay out late into the night. If you are of the “if you can’t beat them, join them” variety, then this apartment is ideal. Otherwise, bring as much noise cancelling technology as possible. So, 5 stars for the apartment itself, but can only give it a 3 overall because of the sleepless nights due to the noise.
