    Superb apartment with roof terrace, air conditioned, in the heart of Genova. We got to work our fitness by walking to the sixth floor twice daily (pack light!). Mirko is a great host.

Un delizioso appartamento nel cuore più antico di Genova, vi accoglierà e vi farà scoprire ed amare la nostra splendida, superba Genova Situato al sesto piano (non c'è ascensore) in un antichissimo stabile del centro storico, tra botteghe, banchetti e ogni comodità. Grazioso, luminoso, disposto su due piani, un ingresso accogliente e il bagno, un'ampia camera matrimoniale al primo piano, la cucina e area breakfast e una graziosa mansardina al secondo piano. L'appartamento è estremamente silenzioso durante la notte. Il nostro piccolo splendido terrazzino domina i tetti circostanti e da qui potrete rilassarvi guardando il panorama. Il vicolo sottostante pulsa di vita e di contraddizioni. A volte, solo di giorno, potreste incontrare delle "Signorine" che lavorano in strada, ma è tipico della zona. Il quartiere è antico e suggestivo, nel cuore più antico di Genova.
Io sarò a disposizione dei miei ospiti 24hh, per ogni consiglio richiesta informazione o eventuali problemi. Si raccomanda di avere sempre una connessione internet per comunicare tramite messaggi e rimanere sempre in contatto. In casa si chiede di attivare la connessione WiFi
Negozietti e ristorantini tipici, a 4 passi dall Expò, a pochi passi dalla splendida Cattedrale di San Lorenzo (200 mt.) e dalla piazza principale di Genova (Piazza De Ferrari) (300 mt.) Camminando per le strade si possono scoprire molte antiche e caratteristiche piazzette e chiese, ma siamo anche a soli 5 minuti dalla principale via dello shopping (Via XX Settembre) e dal nostro famoso Acquario conosciuto in tutta Europa. Si può facilmente arrivare a casa nostra in dieci minuti dalle due principali Stazioni Ferroviarie della città in autobus o in metropolitana. A richiesta è possibile utilizzare un posteggio per auto/moto, coperto e chiuso. Essendo la zona pedonale, il posto si trova a circa 1500 mt da casa, ma vi porteremo noi dal parkeggio fino a casa.
