The location of this apartment is Central to a very hip neighborhood. Close to restaurants, clubs and major attractions. It is difficult for taxis to find because it is located at the end of a small alleyway. The graffiti and surrounding area may be intimidating to people not used to this.
Federico's place was clean, but not at nicely set up as the photos showed. Sofa had stains from spills and no cushions on the folding chairs in the living room. Check-in could have been smoother, but eventually worked out. Carlo and Luca took care of as much as they could, but the apartment could use some attention, as door handles were flimsy/broken, the bathroom shower is tiny, even for a small person and lights in one of the rooms did not work at all. You should also know that the basics are there, but absolutely nothing more. Communication with the host can also be challenging.
Overall, we had a pleasant 3 days there, but we are well traveled and could work around the issues.
