The apartment was clean and spacious. However, it was on a very noisy street, which we found very disturbing. We can't say that the location was pretty, but it was at least near the metro, just a block away, which can be very convenient for anyone wanting to use public transportation. The internet connection was disappointing as it was either too slow or non-existent. The apartment offered neither hand soap or plastic bins for the bathroom or the kitchen. I can't say much about Mattia, our host. We only saw him when we arrived. Communication with Mattia was also difficult as he doesn't speak English so we couldn't even ask for the basics.
