Passeggiata Apartments

"Insgesamt eine ganz niedliche Unterkunft. Minuspunkte aber gibt’s für die Umgebung. Die Unterkunft liegt direkt an einer Straße, wo die Autos im Affentempo vorbei rasen, direkt daneben hinter Gebüsch verlaufen die Bahngleise, die Züge fahren oft, schnell und bis in die Nacht. Es ist extrem laut. Abends draußen sitzen macht daher nicht soviel Spaß. Da es nur ein Fenster/Tür gibt, ist die Wohnung recht dunkel."
