This place is huge! Very clean. Two A/C units. They work very well. Lots of Italian TV channels to learn Italian! Lots of closet space. Stacked with extras in the kitchen and bathroom. Has an elevator. Francesco left us with a lot of suggestions which were very helpful. The area is decieving at first because it looks ok but its actually quite safe and there are things just around the corner. There is a little restaurant of sorts across the street. A supermarket a block a way. An amazing osteria over one block. Pizza a block over from the subway. A fully loaded pharmacy right down stairs. And a cafe and bodegas around the corner. ATM a block down from the subway and some shopping stores.
The only two issues I experienced here were 1) I had to run the water in the shower for a half an hour before it became warm. I am unsure why because the kitchen sink seemed to heat up within a reasonable amount of time. Maybe it's because the apartment is on the 8th floor? Also be mindful of where you aim the shower head.
2) Drying our clothes was a bit of a challenge. There is a rack in the bathroom that I think is supposed to heat up but I either don't know how to use it or. it doesn't work. It was humid in the bathroom even with the window all the way open. There was no line or drying rack on the porch. It's narrow but I was able to put a few things out there on hangers on the shade door.
Grazie mille!! :)
