Lloyd Residence Triestino

All in all the apartment is good. It is spacious enough, even though not really large, for 4 persons. The A/C works well, which is absolutely needed in summer in Trieste. There are four beds, a table with 4 chairs and a very small kitchenette in a cupboard, so everything basic is there, even though nothing fancy. You can do everything you need, even though most of it not very comfortably. There is an elevator in the building, something essential if you are travelling with an older person, since the apartment is on the 3rd floor. Compared to many other places in Italy, widows actually have a solid sound insulation, even though not fully sound proof. You will still be able to hear scooters during the night, but not very loudly. I am quite sensitive to noise, but it was OK for me. Location of the apartment is very good.

Furnishing and equipment in the apartment are very basic, many things are not working perfectly. The owners should check the premisses more frequently and plan to invest only some 20 EUR, which would make everybody's stay notably more comfortable. In one room the light does not work, there were only two extremely small bedside lamps (I took off the lampshades so we got more light and could live with it). In the main room the main lightbulb should be stronger in order to be able to read at the table. There is only a tiny hotel fridge even though it is an apartment with a kitchenette. The fridge is obviously very old and extremely loud, but what is worse is that the fridge does not have independent electricity supply, so when you go out during the day and take the card key out, the fridge does not work any more. There is a clock, which does not work, it probably only needs a new battery. The kitchenette is extremely sparsely equipped. There is only one cooking pot so if you want to boil a small amount of water for tee you have to use a huge pasta pot. There was no kitchen towel, something really important when you are staying for a few days and using the kitchen. The worst part was that there is one single fork and one glass for four persons! Fortunately there were 4 cups and four spoons. However, eating i.e. a piece of meet with a spoon is not comfortable at all. It was especially annoying that we only got one key for 4 persons! Two keys would have made our stay a lot easier.

the shower was out of order

Great location, clean place, nicely decorated

Pillows were not good, no towels and no toilet paper...
