we enjoyed our stay and appreciated Ilaria's warm welcome and clear communication. we think the airbnb experience would be improved if the online listing corrected the errors about a balcony (no balcony or patio) and having a coffee machine listed (you can make a cup on the stove but no machine). there is a cafe and a grocery store super close by which we really liked and the kitchen was very useable. ilaria was wise to give us a warning when we arrived about the downstairs neighbour. he did hit his ceiling (our floor) a few times when we were having dinner (he dislikes noise). the unit is well located for the subway and walking, though we did struggle to sleep with the noise and light from the street. adding curtains in the bedrooms would improve that experience overnight. overall the unit was spacious and comfortable and clean and we thank ilaria for her kindness and clear communication :)
