Alcova Dei Giustiniani by Holiday World

Location was perfect

It was loud and the fan was not working well so it was very hot at night and hard to sleep

L’emplacement très central, le cachet de l’appartement très bien meublé avec du mobilier ancien, le sol en tomettes, le hall d’accueil et la situation sur une petite place un peu à l’écart mais à deux pas de San Lorenzo

Il n’y a pas de climatisation mais heureusement deux ventilateurs car en cas de fortes chaleurs, ce qui a été le cas de notre séjour, il y fait chaud. Pour information , mieux vaut dormir dans le canapé lit près des fenêtres que dans l’alcove semi fermée où se trouve le lit pour deux personnes

Mi è piaciuta la posizione dell'alloggio all'interno del centro storico della città, a due passi da tutti i servizi. Mi è piaciuto l'appartamento, il senso di storiche suggestioni che evoca

Purtroppo il fatto che l'appartamento sia situato nel centro storico ha reso veramente difficile trovare parcheggio per l'auto. I posti a pagamento nei pressi dell'alloggio tutti sempre pieni, a costi proibitivi e incustoditi.

The apartment is conveniently located in Genoa old town, a few steps away from the harbour and the subway. The historic palazzo Giustiniani makes for a pleasant addition to the value of the stay. The kitchen is fully furnished with kitchenware, the coffee machine is a nice addition.

The apartment is located on the mezzanine floor of one of Genoa's historic buildings. This means that the ceilings are very low and this factor together with the windows being on only one side of the house means that there is no air circulation. Since there is no AC in summer the apartment overheats very easily and the (half broken) fan that is provided is not up to the task. The situation is even worst in the bedroom, carved into the far side of the house and resembling more a crypt than an alcove. The bed is a contraption of dubious design consisting of a spring matress that amplifies the slightest movement into a ripple of seismic activity, making impossible to sleep alone or in couple given the constant oscillation of the whole thing. The house is located in the old town and downstairs there is a bistrot, meaning that there is a lot of noise until late in the night. The problem is aggravated in summer by the need to keep the windows open in order to be able to breathe inside the apartment. The whole check-in check-out procedure is done remotely. It works, but its efficiency borders on rudeness.
