I spent about six weeks at Vincenza's apartment. All in all, the apartment is okay for a couple of days, but for long-term stays there might be better options.
Pros:
- Vincenza is truly a super host. She welcomed me personally, even though I arrived pretty late due to a flight delay. She took the time to explain everything to me and left food and drinks in the fridge. She was responsive and helpful throughout my stay.
- The apartment is well-located. It is close to the center (about 10 minutes walk), and also surrounded by nice local restaurants and bars offering good quality food and service at cheaper prices. The area is safe, I never had any problem walking around in the evening.
- The apartment is well-equipped. The building is silent. The neighbors are friendly and respectful .
Cons:
- There is no window. The only source of light comes from the glass door that looks to the patio. While this is okay for some days, it's a little bit depressing during a long-term stay.
- Although the apartment is well-equipped, some things are really old or unusable (e.g., oven, ironing machine). There are also a lot of staff in the apartment that do not add much value (e.g., boxes, bags, objects) and it feels a bit crowded. But again, this is probably only an issue for long-term stays.
