The apartment was clean, close to public transit, and the pictures were accurate. All the furniture seemed new, and all the kitchen appliances worked. The unit had free wifi, and an umbrella that came in handy.
I never met Daniele, but I met his wife Elisa, who quickly showed us how to operate everything in the apartment before heading out.
I wish the hot water lasted a bit longer, as it was just barely enough for 2 short showers. The room got quiet hot in the summer heat and took a while to cool down at night.
