Check-in was good. Corrado even left some nice pastries for us. The apartment does need to be updated and some of the furniture needs to be replaced. A fresh coat of paint in a neutral colour would be an improvement. I was a bit nervous about walking in the area at night. By day, it was fine. Some basic supplies would have been nice (a bit of olive oil, coffee). There was a great select of teas though. We stay there for two nights and it served our purposes. The price was right.
