We really liked the location of Donato's apartment. Everything is within easy walking distance of the flat. The downside is that the apartment is no longer in the condition you see in the glorious photos, and that is misleading. We took our own photos of the walls and surfaces but there is nowhere to post them. The unique configuration of the apartment means that plastic roller shades cover external windows which are in the shower area. These shades are now quite filthy and need replacing.
The host, an investmet banker by trade, runs this as a business and has little, if anything to do with running the apartment, so if you are expecting interaction with a friendly and interested local host, look elsewhere. We contacted the host to make sure that the late arrival of our flight would not pose an inconvenience. He took most of a day to respond that it woud not. Once we landed and kept in constant contact, his messages grew ever more short-tempered, as if we were keeping him personally waiting unexpectedly. We arrived at the time we had anticipated from the beginning only to find a paid employee who, alothough courteous, explained NOTHING about the flat and promptly left. The wifi code is handwritten and it is unclear what it really is...lots of potential to mis-read...is it 0,O, or o, and is it 1, I, or l are three of the dimemmas one must face when trying to connect.
All in all, this was once a lovely flat, but it now needs some TLC. We will not be back.
