Nearby, there are great Italian restaurants and bars with pizza and craft beer, plus supermarkets. The place is cleaned daily, including rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. Breakfast had fresh juice, tea, coffee, cereal, and fruit — a nice touch. The kitchen has everything you need, and the internet was strong. There's a comfortable common area near reception and outdoor tables and chairs. Ideal if you prefer a quieter residential vibe.”
