Positive:
Location location location. If you've read the other reviews you already know this, but it can't be emphasized enough. It's close to a lot of major attractions but not so close you have to worry about the chaos associated with the touristy areas. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go.
Security. There are 3 doors between you and the public street. We felt very comfortable with this added layer of security. Although neighbors could be heard, it was quiet at night. It’s nice to have a quiet place to return to after being gone and active all day.
As others stated, Alessandro was friendly, responsive, and helpful. He is exactly how a host should be, and we truly appreciated him.

Neutral:
We saw reviews saying they were disappointed by the size of the studio. Although we experienced the same feeling, I don’t see where the photos misrepresent the listing. You are getting a studio in Europe. It will be small, so expect it. We are passing along some suggestions to the host to improve the space and make more usable room. We stayed in this studio for 7 nights/8 days, but feel it would be better for shorter stays or for 1 person.
The bed is firm, the pillows are flat, and they don’t use fitted sheets, but that is very typical for Europe so be prepared. We were prepared and brought inflatable camping pillows. We don’t consider this something to complain about, just be prepared for. It’s a difference in cultures.
Be aware the water heater is also European sized. Taking a hot shower at full volume will give you less than 10 minutes of water. If you manage the flow and temperature, such as turning the water to a trickle when you are applying soap, you can easily get through a shower with enough hot water.
The coffee maker included in the listing is a “moka pot”. It makes an excellent cup of coffee, but do look up a video on how to use it before you arrive so you don’t have to figure it out when you’re trying to wake up. It’s a nice addition to the kitchenette, and a much appreciated accessory.

Negative:
Unfortunately, this studio had obvious mold growth in several locations. We hate to put this in our review, but it’s a health concern, esp for those with compromised immune systems. The source of the mold is a lack of ventilation. The shower is not in a separate room (it does have shower doors) so all moisture generated from the shower fills the studio. There is a hole for ventilation in one of the shower walls, but it’s not mechanical and doesn’t blow like an exhaust fan. During the summer, the AC will help remove that moisture. During the winter, when we stayed, the moisture condenses on the windows and will actually form puddles on the floor. We resorted to opening the windows and running the heat.
The bedding wasn’t clean enough for our liking. There was hair and obvious small holes and stains on the sheets and blankets. There were also a couple of cobwebs and dust collected on the lights, TV, and corners. For a listing that requires an additional fee for cleaning, we expected the studio to be fully cleaned. (We do not have a problem paying the cleaning fee, it was especially nice upon checkout. We were told the cleaning crew would pick up after us and not to worry about anything when preparing to leave. Nice to have one less burden when prepping for your departure.)
We had problems with the holder for the showerhead. It’s a brace that sticks to the wall to hold the showerhead stable. It came off, which we saw someone else complain of the same thing. We informed the host of this upon checkout, not during our stay.

Conclusion:
We would stay in a unit hosted by Alessandro again. He was a pleasure to work with and offers reasonable prices. And if some problems were remedied in this apartment, we’d even stay here again.
Dinner suggestions:
Make sure you eat at Alfredo e Ada. We had our favorite meal for dinner there. It's cash only and community seating, so you sit with other guests. It was a great experience and absolutely delicious.
