Flaminia’s place is amazing. The apartment is well stocked and the location is great! The books on the shelves are really coll too. We spent an hour looking through a photography book and it was really interesting. Check-in was fine, we had to wait outside of the apartment for about 20min but I don’t think that’s the usual case and it really wasn’t a big deal. Just be ready to carry your bags up the stairs! That’s all of Italy though, be ready to do that at 90% of the places.
