About this apartment rental
Quiet and bright apartment in a convent adjacent to a church that dates back to 1300 in the heart of the old town. Large and well cared furnishing is spacious and bright with a living room with a large beam that divides the space, two comfortable sofas and a table for lunch and dinner. Equipped with Tv, stereo and wi-fi
Composed by two double rooms and two bathrooms, one with shower, a big living room and open kitchen. To reach the house you have to walk up a little and then make two storey stairs without elevator, not recommended. The neighborhood is characteristic and consists of small brick streets and a beautiful square where is located the ancient Carmine market, just renovated, in which you can dine. In the square also two nice bars and a great bakery where to buy "focaccia" a typical Genoese bread.
The neighborhood is located near Via Garibaldi, the heart of the old town and one of the most beautiful streets of the city with its palaces and museums. It is a 5-minute walk from the Aquarium, the Expo area the Porto Antico beachfront.
Close to the train station Genoa Piazza Principe and a few minutes from the bus stop.

The apartment was really great. Well equipped kitchen and bice bathrooms. Plenty of space and lots of natural light.
Beware there are a lot of stairs that may hamper those with mobility issues.

Light, airy and spacious. This apartment is equipped with everything you need for short or long stays - we stayed a month.
The location is excellent and the many steps made us fitter.
Thoroughly recommended.

6 / 10Average·Sep 2017
The apartment is really very nice but...
I would not recommend for elder people or young kids, neather for anyone with walking difficulties. The first picture is showing you the church, not the front of the apartment. The entrance is the 2nd picture. Veeery old, ruined building (like most in the city). This didn t bother us at all. Only after more than 100 mts of steps up from the road and then other 20 mts up of the apartment itself (you can see on the side of the church). From there, it is at least 3 1/2 real levels inside to go up inside the building...Forget about any heavy luggage!
On our second night we arrived late at night and it took half hour to make it in because the lock on the building was not working well. following day one of the neighbours helped us and tought us the little trick about it (would have been great knowing)
Once inside the apartment each room has a different level, sometimes 5 steps, like kitchen, or 3 from one of the rooms; no handrail which makes it risky for the elder or young kids. Good for excercise though!
As the weather is going much warmer lately I would strongly recommend more fans (only 1 small is available) considering there are 2 rooms. No courtains at kitchen area making it really hot. No microwaves. We only found 2 regular glasses available. No coffemaker, but only a tiny individual Italian one.
Dont bring your car to Genova! Even during weekends it is almost impossible to park on the street (though I was told not to worry about it). You can do only coins in the machines (good luck if need to get some).
Some belongings were left at the place and it was hard to hear back from them and still waiting to do arrangements.
Luisa, the owner, was very nice from the begining but I was expecting a better experience. I was a bit desappointed...
