The location proved ideal, a quick five-minute stroll from the rialto stop from the airport.. our quadruple room offered ample space and daily cleaning. the staff showed a friendly attitude. They promptly answered all inquiries. i appreciated the inclusion of toiletries, such as travel-sized toothbrushes and toothpaste.
My only slight issue concerned the narrow stairs. There was no elevator, posing a challenge when carrying luggage.
