We booked this room through expedia, but didn't realize (or read the small print) that we had not paid online, but were expected to pay at Baci. Luckily Baci took Visa! The place was hard to find, since it is amongst residencial apartments, which is what this place was. An apartment converted into rooms, although it was well done. Once located, we were greeted by a hand written sign with three phone numbers to call. I'm not sure about you fellow travellers, but we opted out of getting a roaming plan and wanted a real vacation away from computers and cell phones, although only for emergency. Patricia (the owner) was quite upset that we had not gotten her email or voicemails regarding our arrival time. I assumed owners/managers of hotels or places to stay would remain onsite to greet guests, but this was not the case here. After feeling like we totally inconvenienced this lady, she was still willing to take our money for the room.
The room was nice and spacious with a separate tub/shower area beside the bed. The AC worked wonderfully, which was a saving grace during the +37C temperatures. The breakfast vouchers gave us coffee and a pastry, which seemed lacking. There is a coffee machine in the apartment too. I discovered a hair dryer upon request. The room has a bar fridge.
We booked this place based on tripadvisor reviews and it's proximity to the train station. It was not very close to the station as advertised, maybe i'm used to being closer. Taxi's were impossible to find too. Also hard to find places to eat on a sunday. One amazing discovery was the Gelato factory, about 1.5blocks from room, highly recommend it! Also grocery store within blocks.
I believe there are only 3 or 4 rooms in this place, which means it is quiet. The doors are heavy and are prone to slamming though, which is very noisy.
