Our family of 4 (kids 15 and 12) stayed 4 nights in Alessandro’s place. It is expensive, but we knew that going in. We wanted something centrally located that was spacious, convenient and comfortable. The apartment did not disappoint, for the most part. It is very good sized, with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to comfortably sleep 4 people. Definitely no more than that, though. Upstairs bedroom more of a loft, so not much privacy—not ideal for 2 couples, but super for a family. Tons of closet space—huge closet area on 1st floor behind the bedroom where we stored 3 huge suitcases and hung up a lot of our clothes. Two other closets allowed us to hang up jackets and not have clothes all over the place (the way a family can explode in a hotel). Very modern and tastefully decorated. Not necessarily charming but had a chic feel to it. Great amenities: washer with drying rack, dishwasher, full kitchen, 3 TVs with access to Netflix. Loved the big windows in the kitchen and upstairs bedroom, all of which opened. Lots of natural light. Downstairs bedroom kind of dark and cavernous though.
Some nice touches: a decorated Christmas tree, 2 bottles of water, Prosecco, and one of those box cakes. Tons of extra towels, a nice perk. Check in was super easy and accommodating. Good location for us—we walked everywhere.
My only complaint had to do with the bathroom. Water vacillates between boiling hot and freezing cold. Hard to find the “sweet spot.” Also, downstairs shower has less pressure. Some visible mildew on the tiles of the downstairs shower (big pet peeve of mine, especially at a place this pricey). Such an easy fix with a bottle of tilex. One more minor mention—only 3 water glasses. Guests paying several hundred bucks a night are entitled to a full set of water glasses.
These complaints notwithstanding, we had a super time and give it 5 stars.
