Casa Costa Serena

If you want somewhere to stay while exploring around, definitely this is one of your best options. It is well located, near the train/bus station and it is really easy to explore around the marina and city centre. The host, Alessandra, is the sweetest. She gave us step-by-step directions to make sure we arrived properly at the accommodation and recommendations of what to visit not only in Genoa but the surroundings.

It is a bit confusing how to get there, and the street looks a bit suspicious at night. However, the host's directions help a lot with this, and the street is not dangerous at all. Also, at some point, the house gets too warm, so watch out for the boiler or open the windows.

The location is very close (3 min walk) to "Piazza Principe" train station and in the Genova historic region. Because of this the area is a little dark and can give you a strange impression, but we did not face any issues even when we arrived late evening (around 22:40)

The apartment is at 4th floor and would be nice to have an elevator. It is a old (historical) building so there are things that need to be fix (in the apartment all was fine)

The location was excellent although we were a little concerned as it is down a narrow street with a lot of people hanging about, although we had no issues and there were no issues when we were there, but being a bit older and not used to that area we were being very cautious. The host did put us at our ease however, letting us know that the people all lived and worked in the area and that there were never any issues

Don't think we had anything that we didn't like

it was central and actually quite.

Close to the station, close to attractions and close to the cruise ship. Comfortable apartment. Host was very good.

There was dumping place for rubbish outside our window, so very smelly. There is 7 flights of black painted narrow steps to the apartment. It is not suitable for unfit or old people.

Close to everything. clean.

In a very questionable street. I traveled with my family during the summer and it was so hot that we could not sleep. in such a hot location, ACs should be a must.

Easy to collect keys and the host provided alot of information via whatspps with lots of tips for visiting the city.

the apartment was not very clean, the shower was dirty. the apartment is very hot especially at night. there is no additional extras like soap or shampoo which would have been nice. The area was a little uncomfortable to walk around as it didn't feel very safe but we did not have any bad experiences. There is around 7 flights of stairs to get to the apt and no lift so be aware of this for people with limited mobility and carrying bags. The host also told us that parking would be €20 (around 5 min walk away) but we were charged €25.00. Overall the apartment could really do with a deep clean and freshening up of sheets and towel.

The host was lovely and incredibly helpful with very good suggestions. The location is convenient and flavourful if you're open to diversity, but as previous guests have said it might not be for everyone. I enjoyed the diversity it offered. The price is fair for what you get

Could have been a bit cleaner. If visiting in a heatwave you need to be mindful of being quite high up with no air-conditioning
