Communication with Valentina was excellent, and she arranged a safe place for us to drop our bags off at 8.30am on the morning of a public holiday (our ferry came in at 7.40) even though previous guests didn't check out until 10am.
We didn't actually end up staying in this apartment as the guests who left at 10 the day we arrived broke the bed and shower. Valentina had another room for us though (no kitchen but it was alright as we were only there one night and the room was nice), and it had a very good shower. Would definitely stay at one of Valentina's rooms again.
