Les points forts : Propreté, arrivée, communication et emplacement
Garraffello House
The host, Stefania, is one of the nicest, most accommodating hosts I have encountered. She was responsive, helpful and gracious.
The property is very much as depicted in the online photos and the location of the property was ideal for walking to most of the locations of interest. We found all 3 major street markets walkable. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and a grocery store nearby. This is a first floor apartment with 23 steps from the street level to the entrance of the unit.
The building was in the process of significant renovation when we arrived. The entire side of the building that fronts Via Loggia was covered by scaffolding and netting. This construction created two problems. First, with construction comes noise. From about 8:15 in the morning until late afternoon on weekdays, the construction was ongoing, producing noise that ranged from mildly annoying to bone-jarring. Secondly, because the building was covered with scaffolding and netting, the advertised balcony was virtually useless. You could still access it from the apartment, but there is little attraction in sitting under scaffolding and netting with the view totally obscured. I feel that we should have been notified in advance of our arrival.
The proximity to shops, restaurants, etc is a plus. The negative is the noise, especially on the weekends, when things didn't quiet down until 3:00 am.
But for the construction issues, we had a a very nice stay and I would rent it again if I returned.
