18 Alfieri

Lovely place in easy walking distance to museums and restaurants.

Construction work on the block wasn’t ideal, but acceptable

We particularly appreciated the flexibility of the host (who was very nice). Due to unforeseen long hours of traffic jam on our way from Geneva to Turin (12hours), we arrived very late. The host and her partner were very patient, understanding and nice. The location is also excellent.

Nothing.

Great location. The apartment had everything we needed and was much bigger than it appeared in the pictures we had seen. Barbara, the host, was extremely helpful, friendly and informative.

A lovely old-style apartment with tall windows right in the historic centre, v close to Piazza San Carlo, ground floor. Really sympathetically decorated/renovated by someone with a good sense of taste and design. Various coffee-making modes in the apt incl Tassimo-type, plus tea. Nice touch was a bottle of wine -that friends who came round enjoyed. Bottled water in fridge. Electric hob and microwave. Eduardo met me with keys mid-morning after my early flight and I was able to use the apt right away which was great. Lots of cafes, eateries, shops nearby. Easy walk to central sights, main train station and various bus stops. Comfy double bed, v good modernised bathroom -shower was ok for me but maybe small for some. Plenty of hot water available. Toiletries, towels provided. Typical metal security gate before front door: good secure feeling. Lots of lights. Comfy sofa bed in lounge opposite large flat-screen TV. As others commented, some noise but it's next to a street and very central, bar next door (which I didn't check if in use) may be source of some noise. Original single-glazed windows may not help but possibly there are restrictions in this historic centre zone about what could replace them. Beautiful Palazzo opposite is under restoration. Dining table and chairs: extra electric extension lead nearby (running along the wall) would working on my laptop on the table easier instead of using it on the sofa. I recommend this accommodation and would happily stay again.

3rd week October is not the warmest time of year in Torino. Air-con struggled a bit. WiFi was mostly ok but sometimes dropped to under 4 mbps - I switched to mobile's hotspot t these times

The property is beautiful, very historic, old and the architecture just original. It was safe. It had a big gate/door that locked at 5 PM and you needed a key to be able to get in and out. But the area overall was super safe. The apartment was a good size. I travel solo so it was more than enough for me. It would be perfect for a couple as well. Good area for sitting or eating, and a separate area for bedroom and bathroom. Host had everything you needed for a quick pasta meal and provided water and a bottle of wine as well.

My only challenge was that the shower was very small. It was hard to wash my hair, but it wouldn’t be a dealbreaker for me.

An excellent location in the city center. The apartment is equipped with appliances like a fridge, coffee machine, and microwave, along with all the utilities needed for a comfortable long stay. We didn’t use the air conditioning as the room was already at a cool temperature. There’s a lovely bar next door where you can grab food (though it’s closed on Saturdays and Sundays).

Unfortunately, the bedroom is not soundproofed, and the window faces the sidewalk (earplugs help a bit), while the gate is also quite noisy. More candles might help freshen the room's air.

Very centrally located. Very close to tram and bus stops with connections around the city. Apartment was clean and comfortable. Host was very accommodating and let us check in early and store our bags after check out.

Main bed mattress was quite hard and didn't suit us. Sofa bed was quite hard to sleep in despite it being comfortable due to the light from the front door. AC unit in main room was noisy at night and kept turning on and off (although AC in bedroom kept the apartment reasonably cool). But we still had a great stay!

The location was very good. Everything you need was nearby.

The water pressure in the shower could have been better.
