Where to Stay in Centro Storico, Genoa

Who Centro Storico is for
Repeat-Italy travelers. Anyone who wants atmosphere over polish. Food-focused stays.
Who should skip it
First-timers nervous about urban grit (some caruggi feel sketchy after dark). Mobility-limited travelers (lanes are steep stairs).
