House Pellicceria by Holiday World

Zentral gelegen, nach Ladenschluss etwas unangenehm von der Umgebung her.

Im Bad hat es von der Decke getropft, der Weg nach Hause bei Dunkelheit fühlt sich etwas unsicher an. Nach der Buchung fallen Kosten für Bettwäsche und Handtücher an.

The apartment is well located — you're quickly in the heart of Genoa. If you want to feel the Italian atmosphere, this place might suit you.

Unfortunately, the overall experience was very inconvenient and even unsafe. The layout of the apartment is extremely poor: the shower is located directly on a staircase — to use it, you have to undress on the steps. Water runs down the stairs, making them slippery and dangerous, especially for children. The windows face the stairwell and elevator shaft, which makes the apartment dark and poorly ventilated. The kitchen extractor fan doesn’t work, so if you cook anything, be prepared for the whole place to fill with smoke. The neighborhood feels fine during the day, but at night it can be quite unsettling due to some questionable characters on the street. There was no clear information about where to dispose of trash. The light switches in the apartment are placed so oddly that they’ll drive you mad. Additional costs were also a nasty surprise — bed linen is charged at €12 per person, and the recommended parking in the port costs €2 per hour. For 4.5 days, we paid over €200 for parking alone. Add that to your accommodation cost. Finally, the communication with the host was unpleasant. Instead of sending simple check-in instructions or answering questions, they insisted for days that I install their preferred app. Even after we checked out, I kept receiving spam messages from them.

The apartment is in a great location. Renovated, clean and the host is very friendly. +great mattress, best sleep we had in a long time.

What is unfortunate, is the fact that the shower is situated literally on the staircase. Meaning that you open the shower door and you step out on the staircase. What is making things worse is that the stairs are slippery and as a result the moment my brother stepped out of the shower, he slipped and fell down the stairs. Luckily, he avoided any serious injuries other than a couple of bruises and a bloody toenail. It could have been a different story if he had broken a bone. The owners should look into this.
