Lets start out with the good: the apartment is beautiful and spacious. We only had 4 staying there, but could have easily had more. The air conditioning kept us cool in the 95+F degree heat. The apartment was located near a small strip filled with great restaurants and bars. The host is not actually in Italy, so she has some intermediaries that you work through, but they were all very nice and helpful. (especially Mr. Convertino)

The bad: There was pretty regular power outages for the entire first day we were there. The power was off more than it was on during our time in the apartment (we were not there all day though). The second day it got better, there were still a couple very short outages. The power outage also caused a problem with one of the bathrooms. The one bathroom has some sort of an electrical flush system that wasn't explained to us, after using the toilet with the power out the flush system overflowed and the bathroom smelled awful. We cleaned up the water as best as we could but the smell kept us from using the bathroom at all for the rest of the stay.
