Cristiana and Roberto were wonderful hosts. The entire time prior to my visit Cristiana was extremely easy to communicate with and helpful in explaining the best way to arrive from the airport. My flight had been delayed and she was extremely flexible about meeting me at the apartment. They made me feel very welcome and even left me an umbrella as I had arrived during some unexpected rainy weather.
The apartment space is large and you are definitely getting your money's worth. Nice comfy living area with couches and a dining table, large bedroom with a work desk, fully functioning kitchen (with sharp knives), updated clean bathroom, and several rooms connecting these different spaces. The laundry machine was a great plus (I had seen on a previous review that someone mentioned there was no soap - and there was laundry soap provided when I arrived).
The location of the apartment is away from the main hustle and bustle of the city (there are buses right below the house). However, it is on a relatively busy street, so you do hear the morning traffic. Though for me it wasn't a big issue. And the windows are soundproof, so once they are closed you cannot hear outside. I enjoyed being able to walk 50 meters out to the seaside promenade, which is filled with many restaurants.
Thank you again Cristiana! I would definitely come back again :)
