IL GECO

An amazing place, right in the middle of everything. Yes there are a lot of stairs. And yes there are some Ladies on the little streets, but the disappear in the evening, but I would stay here again! Mirko was a great host, easy to contact, gave very detailed instructions, and just made my short trip to Genoa amazing.

The apartment was awesome. It was spotless, with full kitchen, comfy bed, and incredible views from the rooftop patio in the heart of the neighborhood. Mirko was incredible and proactive with the communication, providing step by step guides (with pics) to help you navigate the windy alleys.

Mirko is an excellent, helpful, and attentive host. He makes sure you know everything you need to, and all the extras too. The apartment is in the center of town, literally steps to everything you could possibly want to see (and a few you might not—don’t let the prostitutes put you off, they are common in Genoa the guidebooks say). The kitchen is plenty large enough to make your own pasta and sauce, and the deck is great for morning coffee. Be aware: the stairs are no joke, and the ones to the roof deck are especially narrow and steep. This is a place for people who are in good health, but perhaps not great for anyone frail or with balance issues. Enjoy the museums, palazzos and history of Genoa with this affordable and gracious hideaway! Thank you, Mirko!

This place is really special! Great apartment that is spacious, quiet and very comfortable to stay in. Yes there are many stairs but well worth the climb. The rooftop patio has a quite unbelievable view of Genoa. From this location it was very easy to walk everywhere and explore the city. Just around the corner are so many great places to eat. Mirko was extremely helpful with his communication and that made it easy to find the apartment and check in. I would stay here again if I could!

The apartment is in the middle of the old port center of Genoa. It has no elevator and the atmosphere is exactly like an ancient port city. The interior is spread over three levels and is not modern, but very comfortably furnished. I felt at home here. I will gladly come again.
