The apartment is just wonderful! Location, aesthetic, amenities… it’s all there. There are only one or two things l feel need a bit of improvement.
1. The toilet, which doesn’t flush well, but I’m guessing it has to do with how old the city is.
2. I feel like there was lack of communication from the host. I tried to reach her several times but she never responded.
2.5 The check-in process depends completely on someone else being there to let you in, give you the keys, etc., and, even when I let the host know my time of arrival, the person got there 40 minutes later while I waited in the heat with my [very heavy] backpack. I tried to reach Francesca but, again, she never responded.
At the end of the day, her colleague got there, apologized for the delay and was very nice during the “welcome” process.
So, apart from those minor details, the stay was great, the location is unbeatable and the view from the apartment is worth everything.
