The apartment is really nice, bright and comfortable. The layout is unusual, but that's part of the charm. It is spacious and allows for private areas for a couple. For example, the bedroom is totally separate from the kitchen and living room and also from the bathroom. The shower is the biggest I've ever seen in Italy! The kitchen was well-stocked, but does not have a microwave in case that's a necessity. It does have an oven, stove, toaster, electric kettle and several sizes of coffee makers.
