Emanuele Filiberto

The property was very central and we had easy access to all aspects of central Torino. What we are pleased about as it gave a real flavour of how people live in Torino. We were fortunate that it was not particularly noisy when we stayed there. However, I can imagine on really busy nights. It might be very noisy. It is in a hub of local people living and enjoying themselves at restaurants in the evening and late into the night The locals enjoying them in the restaurants and bars were well behaved. They were enjoying themselves fully, but it did create noise. If you enjoy being in the middle of things, this is a great place. If you’re sensitive to noise, not recommended. We felt safe at all times

It would be nice to have air conditioning because if you had to close up all the windows because of the noise it would be very hot. it was not particularly noisy when we were there and we were able to leave some windows open.

Quirky apartment in a great location, close to the historical centre of the city and all the attractions it offers. Multi storey car park available across the road - very clean and safe. Nice bars and restaurants in the vicinity. Reading other reviews, I can see why it would be noisy at the weekend but we stayed on a Monday and it was extremely quiet. Plenty of ear plugs available in the apartment otherwise!

Felt stuffy due to the heat outside but a fan in the bedroom helped a lot.

The apartment is very nice and clean

The district is very loud especially during night time, impossible to sleep during weekends until 3/4 AM. This is very important to take into account once booking.

Easy to follow instructions to get into the property. Sharon was great at communicating. Really friendly and helpful. Including a little sweet treat for our anniversary. Really kind and thoughtful. Coffee, milk, sugar and tea along with a couple of breakfast items were provided in the fridge. Some bottled water would have been most welcomed, but we braved the tap water for boiling and brushing teeth on our first day. Hopefully the guests after us enjoyed the 4 x 2 litre bottles we left for them when we departed. Lots of local bars and restaurants and just around the corner from Europe’s largest open air market - we enjoyed the location.

The earplugs provided definitely come in handy over the weekend as the bars and restaurants have people around beyond 3am so it is quite noisy. It’s also quite warm in the property, leaving the window open doesn’t really help with the temperature and just lets in more noise. I understand why there’s no air conditioning but an electric fan would help. I had a little rechargeable one with me and I was pleased to have it with me. The bed is quite low and the mattress, although with a topper, isn’t the most comfortable. Same for the pillows. But the bedding was clean so we managed for our stay.

The host was friendly and accommodating as we were delayed through the Frejus tunnel and my phone wasn't functioning. Grabbing WiFi at gas stations. The facility has been decorated in a whimsical style not to everyone's taste. Not ours. Breakfast was provided but we left very early. Bed was OK but room could not be darkened for a good sleep.

Despite info to the contrary, parking is very hard to find. This air B&B is in a busy restaurant area. Parking near the facility is cleared by police and tow trucks at 5.15am. So we had 3 hours sleep and left at 5am to avoid having our car impounded.

Location otherwise great but noisy during the weekend. Good restaurants in the block.
