Affittacamere San Nicola d'amare
The room was very nice and close to all the shops and restaurants. However,we were on the first floor next to street and it’s very noisy all night. There’s a shared refrigerator on the top floor, so you have to walk up 5 floors. It would be better to have a small refrigerator in the room.
