The photos and details are an accurate reflection of what’s included in this apartment. The kitchen and bathroom are smaller than they appear though, but we were provided with everything we needed for our stay: lots of cooking supplies and utensils, microwave, stove, washer, and hair dryer. The bed was comfortable and shower pressure/heat was great. The apartment is located right in the heart of the city! 5-min walking distance to the metro, and 5-10 minute walk to Toledo, Tribunali, and various outdoor markets. If you’re looking for a chain grocery store though, you’ll need to walk about 20 minutes away.
A few things to note: The bathroom doesn’t have an exhaust fan, but there’s a little window you can open. Unfortunately, every time we opened this window, a strong, pungent smell would enter the apartment. Our advice is to keep it closed and open the kitchen window instead. That said, even with the window closed, there is an unpleasant smell that lingers in the bathroom. It’s not so bad that an air freshener couldn’t take care of it I think. Also, the building is located right behind a church, so every morning at 7am, we were woken up by church bells. We didn’t mind it, but if you like to sleep in, you may want to bring earplugs. Finally, there is no elevator, so there is a walk up and down four flights of stairs to contend with.
The location and price of this apartment can’t be beat. Giuseppe and his wife were very easy to deal with, though neither of us spoke the same language. Regardless, they were nice, accommodating, and respond quickly to any messages you send.
