The apartment was exactly as described. Small, but very cozy and with all the basic amenities one needs. The host is very responsive and a very nice man. He met us in person to give us the keys and gave us some helpful information about the area (local map, number for taxis, his phone number to reach him). Also, the apartment is in a great location, just outside the walls to the city center. Via Pratello is a busy street for nightlife with numerous bars and restaurants, and it is only a five-minute walk. To walk to the city center is maybe 15-20 minutes. This is a quiet part of town where one can walk to many restaurants and a convenience store around the corner. I would say that the only downsides to this unit were that it is on the top floor of the building (approximately four stories), and there is no elevator, so be prepared for 70 steps every time you come home (I counted them). Also, since it is on the top floor with no air conditioning, it is very very warm. This is very normal for apartments in Europe and Italy, but travelers should be aware. During our stay the temps were in high 70's to low 90's, and we could hardly stand to be in the unit for very long during the day. Thankfully the host also provides a couple of fans, and the windows can be opened to help with air flow. But, if anyone is visiting during June, July, or August, you should know that it may be unbearable for sleeping (but so many people in Italy take vacation in August, it is not a good time to visit anyway).
