Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Isola has been subject to something of a renaissance in recent years, and now it has a reputation as a hub for artists in the city. La Papessa might be very small, but it’s comfortable and gives you the chance to experience everything the quarter has to offer. And the flat itself shouldn’t be overlooked. There’s a decent bathtub, and some really nice vintage features, like the parquet floors and the air conditioning control panel, which fit in perfectly with the 60s feeling of the whole building.
