New Apartament in historical Genoa center, hotel in Genova

Tommi and anna were excellent and provided us with a great property for the night. It's very clean, a few minutes walk from the main sights of Genoa, has some great decor inside (especially if you like vespas!) and was overall a really great place to stay for the night. The local neighbourhood is great (other than the market nearby as you go to the coast which isn't very nice) but the streets of Genoa are lovely and the apartment is in a great location. We didnt hear any of the busy streets either. Additionally, tommi and anna left us in-depth instructions for key collection as we arrived at 6pm and it was easy to pickup the keys and let ourselves in. They also sent us some really useful information over WhatsApp which helped us with our stay. Overall, a really great experience for myself and my family to stay here for the night before we travelled again the next day. Would stay again if I visit Genoa!

Really good location, close to everything. Having a dedicated private car parking space was very beneficial and Andrea was a superb host meeting us in the street, leading us to the Carpark then walking with us the short distance to the apartment and advising on what to do and where to eat. Much appreciated.
