  : The location is good. Easy to move from there. And Via Paolo Sarpi is a party street for locals and tourists in ChinaTown. The kitchen, beds, and bathroom were clean and comfortable. Parking 24h nearby. Elevator from some steps.
  : No microwave. No iron. The iron is very important for us in every place we go.

  : Great communications with the city. Great apartment with enough space to fit 4 people. Good assortment of supplies.
  : We had a power outage and the path to the buildings light panel was quite creepy and without enough explanation and security. Be careful with pluging in more than 2-3 appliances.

Poor

  : No air conditioning. Actually there is air conditioning system but the owner kept the remote, locked the wall panel with a box, so that no one can actually use it. The alternative is to open the window to get some air in to be able to sleep, and in that case the noises coming from outside all night (as it is in the middle of China town) will prevent you from sleeping. Location is not accessible by car, so if you have luggage its tiring. Although the apartment itself if ok, the building is smelly from the moment you enter the external door all the way to the fifth floor. The electric water heater is so noisy.

Fair

  : We liked that the location was on a street with a lot going on, lots of places to eat in Chinatown, and the place was pretty central and closeby to many things. We also liked that the flat had a lift, AC, and general space to walk around and hang out while we were resting. It was clean and was a bare-bones apartment for a short stay. The view was nice as you overlook the street below. Checking in was no-frills - we arrived earlier and they were able to pick up the phone and let us through the gate. From there, you get your keys from a lockbox in front of the flat's door. Overall, check-in and checkout were a breeze.
  : There was a stress factor in this apartment: the appliances' power usage. We could not turn on more than two appliances simultaneously (apart from lights and the refrigerator) because it would trigger the circuit breaker to turn off. The property agent for this flat said that it was because we could not surpass a certain power based on Italian law, but I have never had this issue with any of the other flats that I've stayed in in Italy. The way to turn the breaker back on was to go into the building's basement, which was not a pleasant experience the two times I had to go down there. This was a significant inconvenience and I would caution other guests that if this is a stressor to rethink booking this place. Furthermore, because this flat was on an extremely busy street and we stayed during a summer weekend, the sound from the street below might bother some guests because the murmur from the crowd is very audible even with the shutters and glass windows closed and would last until 1 am. It did not bother us but might be important for others.
