WHAT YOU CAN LOOK FORWARD TO: - Antonella and Antonio are perhaps the kindest, warmest hosts we have ever had. - This apartment is a home. You can tell a family lived here and there are many towels, sets of linen, etc. - Perfect for families: my son who is 4 years old played with toys that were already in the apartment; there was a little room with a small bed for him adjoining the master bedroom and there were many books. -I was able to cook for my family and I was also able to do laundry here as there is a washing machine, clothes horse, iron and ironing board. WHAT I WISH OTHER REVIEWS HAD MENTIONED: - The fridge did not work and many items I purchased went bad in the fridge quite quickly. This meant that we had to shop daily as milk would not keep, for example. Drinks were cold to the touch but were not much colder than room temperature when poured. I notified the owner who sent out an engineer and the cleaner had to come over too on separate occasions. This felt a little intrusive. - The microwave did not work at all. This was the malfunction we coped best with as we rarely use microwaves, but on the occasions that it would have been useful, it was a pity not to have one. - The electricity tripped more than 3 times during our stay and fixing it involved going outside to the fuse box outside of the apartment down the driveway. Antonella warned me that this would happen which means they are aware of the problem but are yet to find a solution. - There was a slow-running basin on our arrival which would take about half an hour to drain water from. We didn't mention this to the owner because I had already raised 3 other items so we purchased some sink and pipe unblocking liquid and dealt with it ourselves. - The lid for the toilet adjacent to the master bedroom kept coming clattering to floor because there are no clamps to hold it in place. - The apartment had one ceiling fan and one table-top fan. In temperatures exceeding 32C daily the apartment became an incubator and no amount of open windows and even an additional fan given to us by the owner made enough of a difference. In fairness to Antonella, the description mentions that there is no air-conditioning but the heat was unbearable and I think I underestimated how important it would be at the time of booking. In general, I believe the apartment could do with some regular maintenance such that maintenance items that are otherwise avoidable do not need to be addressed while the apartment is being rented. The items I have mentioned made our stay needlessly difficult which is regrettable given the fact that we were on holiday. Having said that, I believe that once they are addressed this will be a 5-star accommodation...
