The place is exactly as it is pictured and described in the listing (as always, rooms seem a bit more spacious in pictures than in real life). Check in was straight forward and it was easy to communicate with the host. No complaints.
You have to know that there is not much of a view from the place (hence no picture of any view posted) - all you see is a very narrow courtyard. Also, you can hear absolutely everything happening in other apartments in the building or in the courtyard. I suppose there is not much the host can do about it - it probably adds a bit to the Italian charm.
Quite possibly, during hot summer days, when all windows are closed and the AC is on, the white noise from the AC could block some of the sounds. Since we stayed there in November it was cold and we did not even find instructions for cooling and/or heating options (which was understandable). We did not inquire with the host regarding heating options so maybe there were some.
