If I could give this stay six stars, I would. Everything was above and beyond expectations. I stayed for a month and it was as great for a long stay as I imagine it is for most short stays.
The space itself is very nice, but unlike many places I've stayed with good looking but stiff/cheap furniture, everything was super comfortable. Especially the bed. The kitchen was enough for me to live there a month and cook many of my meals without issue. It is separated on two floors, which I personally like but something to note if you have mobility issues. Both get plenty of natural light, while the bedroom shutters are actually fantastic at blocking it out when closed. The internet was fast (averaging 50-60Mbs) and perfectly suited for working while there.
As a bonus, the check-in is via lock boxes on the front of the building and inner apartment door with the keys. A second pair of keys on a ring is on the table. This not only made it easy to check in, but saved me when I accidentally left my key chain inside. If you return the first set to the lockboxes, you'll never worry about locking yourself out by mistake.
Rita was a fantastic host. Very thoughtful touches throughout the apartment including initial stocking with some food, beer,and even a bottle of wine. Very good and quick communication. I left a pair of sunglasses behind like an idiot and she was kind enough to forward them to where I headed in Venice.
