B & B Townhouse 54 is a great reminder not to judge a book by its cover. Although the entrance is situated next to a car park on a gritty side street, the lodging itself is delightful, and Toni and his son Giuseppe couldn't be better hosts. They carried my bag up and down three flights, provided our keys early, and moved our bags in when the room was ready. The rooms are small but immaculate and well furnished. Having the shower stall in the bedroom corner was a bit unusual, but if you're not shy with your room mate it's not a problem. The room had coffee service and a small fridge whose usefulness is limited by the need to leave a key to keep the electricity on ( a common feature in Italy). As a bonus, our room (#5) had direct access to a large shared terrace. Breakfast was varied and generous, including freshly brewed espresso drinks. The flat is located 2 minutes walk from the Grand Teatro Massimo and 5 minutes from Piazza del Duomo. There is also an airport bus stop (Alibus) less than 5 minutes' walk for easy transfers. Highly recommend!
