The unit itself is very large and spacious, and updated. When you first enter the building you might question that, however once in the apartment it's spacious, bright, and have a great view of the outside. The unit is good for families due to the szie. The master bedroom is large, and have its own bathroom. We had a family of four and it worked well. The location is steps away from the train station, which allows you to go to many places, its about 15 minutes walking distance to everything including the ferry terminal, the galleria, restaurants, grocery store, and shopping centers. There are a lot of steps so be aware of this, but the host offered to help us carry our bags which we did not need, but please be aware. There is also a Chinese restaurant by the entrance, and honestly after having pizza, pasta, and gelato for 10 days it was a welcome. Just ask them for the english menu instead of trying to translate the menu. If you are traveling with someone that does not do well with step, there is 7 flights of steps and between (70-77 steps) so its a lot of work to go up and down.
The issues: When we went there, There was a list of quirk with the unit we had to remember 1) The toilet in the loft was not flushable, you can only use it to shower, 2) The bathroom in the living room area is super small, but the toilet will often needs some extra water to flush 3) The AC in the loft and the AC in the living room could not be use at the same time 4) The electricity is finicky so you have to constantly watch the amount of things on 5) The bedroom AC would often drip water on the bed or you, if laying there when the condensation in the unit built up. 6) If you use the washer you have to make sure you hold the door up to get started 7) Internet is often spotty and frequently drops.
On our last day there we had some challenges. We came home from boating in Capri that day and we were running the washer and the circuit tripped, and lost all power, the whole unit went dark and it was 830PM. We called the host who showed us the unit and we facetime him so he could walk us through where to flip the circuit, there is one box in the unit and two boxes in the hall. However they were giving us direction to just flip circuits in two boxes not three so we did not have any power on our last night there, we had clothing in the washer, and sticky with salt on our bodies and could not take a shower and had to pack for a 930 am train. We use our phones flash light to get our clothes out and hang them on the balcony, but of course two hours later is started to rain on our clothes, and our phones battery was at 20%. It was a long night for the whole family, with no AC or power the night before we left
The host tried his best with an apologetic email, and he showed up with the electrician the next day, after the older gentlemen climbed 77 steps, he showed us the third circuit that had to be flipped to get the power back on. The host did adjust our rate for the one evening, and was apologetic, however we were on vacation and lost a night with out power, because of power instructions given to us. I would still recommend the unit due to all its amenities, and location, but be aware its an older building with a list of quirks and old finicky power. You get good value for your money, but may encounter some issues, and lots of steps
