The host was great, she was very friendly, and her dog was the cutest thing, though we expected a tiny little Beagle puppy and he's a mix, a decently big puppy. The apartment is very spacious with ample room to lounge about. Keep in mind this is the host's living space as well, but she allowed us to sit on the couches in the living room, and even allowed my mother-in-law use of her room (the host stayed somewhere else for the night), VERY accommodating. Her english is understandable and she was talkitive and helpful. Both the host and her boyfriend (who was there at the time) helped us find where the restaurants and places to visit were.

As a side note, this location is VERY close to the "best pizza" in Napoli (La Michele). Pizza was delicious. This is also where Julia Roberts ate in Eat Prey Love for you fans of the movie.

The only points I'd say as "negative", and they don't relate completely to the place, were:
1. It was located in a small alley, which was MILDLY sketchy later at night, maybe this was the built in American fear factor though...
2. The neighbors are noisy
3. There is a dog living here, so if you are allergic...
