CasaViva-Modern Elegant Trilo in Genova Castelletto

CasaViva staff were VERY HELPFUL and RESPONSIVE, but keep in mind that they are only available from 1pm to 6pm. The location was ideal, especially once we figured out where the elevators and funiculars ran. We did not have a car while we stayed there and were able to walk to everything we wanted. The apartment is very modern and comfortable for two couples. Make a point to have dinner at I Tre Merli on Corso Magenti, a few minutes walk away.

The kitchen is not well equipped if you are planning to cook at home or even just have breakfast. It did not have a bread knife or cutting board. Be prepared to bring everything you need to prepare food or at least check the kitchen before you go shopping. Fortunately, there are good grocery shopping options close by. The mattresses are on the softer side and the metal framed bed is a bit creaky if you move around a lot in your sleep. You will not be able to use the building elevator, but the apartment is a short walk up.

A huge apartment in an excellent location. There was a bathtub that we used. Warm.

There was too little space to store clothes. Nowhere to hang our jackets. The soap was over in both bathrooms. No Smart TV (no YouTube or Netflix). The carpet was a little dirty, but nothing critical. There were some tea and coffee leftovers but no sugar.

The apartment is big (two bathrooms, two double rooms, back-to-back, and one small room with a sofa), bright, in a calm area not far from the historical center. Parking was not a problem (for a fee, like everywhere in Italy) on the street next to the house. There is everything needed to cook breakfast, incl. those useful items which you won't necessary want to buy if you stay for a couple of days, like salt, oil, coffee. So, all in all, this is a good options for families and friends.

The only real problem was a creaky (I mean really creaky that it creaked every time you made a smallest move) metal bed in one of the bedrooms (the other one was perfect). After the first night I reported to the hosts and they tried to fix it, but not 100% successful, so the second night went better but not perfect. So I would consider to change the bed or to make an effort to fix it concretely.

The apartment was clean and large, lots of daylight.

Check in is inflexible and quite late, check out is also inflexible at 10 a.m . More information for a comfortable arrival would have been appreciated (it would have been good to know how to access the area via the elevators). The shower did not have hot water and it drained very slowly. Some information for local public transit, cafés, restaurants, etc., would have been appreciated as it is a very residential area.

I like a lot that the checkin was easy ( from a lockbox), the appartement has everything you need for your stay

A little bit far for the city center but on our last day we discovered the ascensor and the tunnel to easy reach the appartment

it clean and roomy.
