We had a wonderful 7 day stay at Alessandro's apartment. The apartment was very clean, new and updated. There was 11 of us. 6 adults and 4 kids and 1 toddler. There was more than enough room for everyone. All the bedrooms have their own bathrooms which is a huge bonus for privacy with so many people. In addition, all bedrooms also have their own balcony and giant tv's. The kitchen and dining table was huge and perfect for all of us to share a meal. There is not really a living room but he does have a couch which was nice for additional seating for visiting while in the kitchen. A large balcony is off of the kitchen where there is a small outside dining table, a washing machine and clothes hanger for drying. Very handy. The apartment was stocked with all the kitchen appliances that we needed. The bathrooms had plenty of towels and shampoo, conditioner and body wash, along with a hair dryer.
Alessandro arranged a taxi for our group from the airport to the apartment. During the stay he also had the cleaning people come 2 times.
There was a few misunderstandings/miscommunication situations. There was not enough hot water in the morning for the 6 adults to shower so we took it upon ourselves to turn up the water heater. Alessandro received a notification on his phone and would have liked to be informed about the change. I understand this now but at the time we just wanted enough hot water. He adjusted it back down to a temperature he was comfortable with and said to mention if there was more issues with the hot water. It did improve but it wasn't great.
There was another situation about us moving furniture due to the children playing (a bedroom table and a plant). He did not like us to move the furniture for safety reasons and possible wall damage. I feel like we sorted everything out though but at the time it was a bit confusing due to miscommunications.
Overall, the apartment was lovely and very convenient to the metro. I recommend it for a large group.
