The accommodation fully corresponds to the advertising content illustrated on the website. The manager Mr. Alberto, with whom we interacted through phone calls and emails, has been courteous and helpful from the beginning. We were welcomed by the father (due to the manager's vacation), who illustrated the characteristics of the attic - recently restored, like the condominium where it is located - and the amenities it is well equipped with. The San Salvario neighborhood, located immediately adjacent to Porta Nuova train station and the city's ancient center, is well supplied with commercial and accommodation services, as well as public transport. From the accommodation, with a slow 30-minute walk, you can reach the Mole, the Egyptian Museum, and the main squares of the historic center, certainly among the most beautiful in Northern Italy. I recommend everyone this attic and especially a trip to Turin, a metropolis 'tailored to man' that I had not yet visited: the historic center - with its marked urban planning rigor and uncommon refinement in our country - is enchanting and well maintained, the museum offering is substantial (the Egyptian Museum, the Cinema Museum, the Automobile Museum, the National Museum of the Risorgimento are just a few of the many local cultural offerings), public transport is thorough and efficient, and there are numerous dining venues. Turin seemed more affordable to me than Rome, Milan, and Venice, with a superior quality/price ratio (services, dining); the people I interacted with were always courteous. Finally, taking advantage of the location of the attic, a little gem for Football enthusiasts: although the Juventus Stadium today is also an important tourist destination, I felt the need to visit instead the nearby, glorious Filadelfia stadium, recently renovated, where for years the champions of the Grande Torino performed, all perished in Superga in 1949; their memory and legendary spirit exude in the genius loci of the eponymous working-class neighborhood, located next to Lingotto, both urban mirrors of the industrial metropolis of the twentieth century.
