Super location, very clean and very comfortable. Great value . Lots of little extras. Definitely recommend. Please note it’s on the third floor with 50 steps up so anyone with difficulty it would be an issue . 10/10

Bad

The location was excellent-4 minute walk to the Arena & main sights, 50 feet from Dari Ristorante (excellent place for lunch or dinner), the neighborhood safe and quiet, spacious apartment for family of 4, beautiful view of neighborhood from 3rd floor balcony, good A/C for size of apartment.

Pillows were not comfortable (too firm), no hand soap in container, no coffee pods were offered in apartment although there was a Nespresso & drip coffee machine (other short term booking throughout stay in Italy offered small selection of coffee pods). Did not hear from host until morning of arrival would have liked to confirm arrival details day before.

The apartment was exactly as described and appeared to be newly fitted out throughout. It felt very inviting after a tiring day out. There are two small balconies which we didn't use as we were out all the time, but they are a nice feature. The free wifi worked well. The location was pretty quiet in a cul de sac with just a little conversational noise during weekend evenings, and just 10 minutes walk away from the Arena (the centre is the other side of the Arena) and the local Aldi. We used the train a lot (to Venice, Bologna and Lake Garda) and found the bus very handy - 5 mins walk to the bus stop with a 12 min bus ride for 1.5 euros. You cannot buy tickets on the bus - buy them from the convenience store near to the bus stop (closed on Sundays) or better still, use the app TicketBusVerona. You ca also use the app for bus tickets to/from the airport using bus 199 - the 7 euro ticket allows use of a local bus + the airport bus during one journey.

Everything is provided except tea towels (you will also need shower gel, and extra soap/ hair shampoo if staying more than a day). There are quite a few stairs so the description is accurate. My sister-in-law still managed though with two crutches.

Property was completely renovated in a good location. We knew it was on the third floor from other reviews.

Spacious, comfortable and quiet. Nice AC during the heat of summer. A close walk to the arena and good proximity to the rest of Verona’s center.

For the price, a coffee pod or two for the Nespresso would be welcome. The check in procedure could be a little more smooth.

This is a magnificent apartment very close the Arena. It is walkable distance to almost all tourist attractions. The building is one of the traditional Verona houses with modern interior. The building looks amazing and totally immerses you in that dreamy Verona atmosphere. Everything was clean and each room had an AC. Our host was nice and polite. It looked like she had a busy schedule though. She marked all the recommended pasta places and gelaterias on a city map, and she personally recommed some of her favourites too. It was a great experience overall.

One thing most people are likely to miss or overlook is the 200 euro deposit taken out of your credit card for damage protection. This is written in the Building Rules part at the very bottom of the page, but I think this should be clearly stated in the description. The money is of course refundable. Mine got refunded in 4 days, which is fine. Apart from that, things like shampoo and soap were provided in very small amounts. The liquid soap dispenser was empty, instead each guest was provided with a travel size soap bar and tea bag size shampoo. It would have been nice to have some liquid soap and a normal size shampoo bottle in the bathroom.

In Verona, a gorgeous city to visit, Arela is THE place to stay – nesting in a quiet street a couple of minutes’ walk to the Arena – with lots of cultural attractions, restaurants, shops and several buses going to the train station. It has a balcony opening up to a memorable sunrise and welcoming a couple of chairs at the sunset – with a glass of Prosecco. On the practical side, with such hot weather, being able to check in a bit earlier, having a washing machine and aircon was superb. The steps kept us fit, on our way up and down, and Aldi – just 5 minutes away – had a great selection of Italian delicatessen. A place with a homely feeling, from the moment Licia – the welcoming host – opened the door of the spacious and well-equipped flat. A lady who kindly gave us a map of Verona with recommendations of places to visit and eat, like La Bottega della Gina serving freshly made past. So delicious that we bought two more servings to cook at home. Licia also reminded us of the rules of the house before taking the deposit – that was promptly refunded. Licia also directed us to the nearby Verona Luggage Room, a friendly place, where we went after checking out so as to stroll leisurely on our last day in the beautiful Verona. All that to say, la ringrazio molto, Licia

Great communications from Licia who did everything possible to make our stay enjoyable. She helped with our early arrival, made sure everything was explained to us and she was available if we needed anything. The apartment has everything we needed for a short stay in Verona. The central location meant that the whole city was within easy walking distance and very convenient for the opera at the ampitheatre.

We didn't want to leave and hopefully we can come back and stay for longer next year.
